Intel Pentium 4 (2.20GHz)
1GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX5500 AGP 8x (upgrading to a 6800 GS this christmas to help with running Neverwinter 2)

I can run GW with everything maxxed, but it causes me a slight reduction in framerate. My favored setup is everything maxxed, but reflections on default and AA on 2x. 1024x768 85GHz.

It seems that the Nvidia GeForce 5 (aka FX) series is the average family of cards, and the GeForce 6 series is for most hardcore or semi-hardcore gamer.

Of course, I mainly play games like GW, Warcraft 3, etc so I don't see why this card isn't good.

Should play it on low fine. The ram might be a problem if you have a lot of background processes, but other than that it looks good.

My system:

athlon 64 3400+ 2.4 ghz
1 gb RAM
200 gb 7200 rpm HD
Radeon x800xl

Why does everyone get such a small range in their fps? Mine will go anywhere from 45 Fps to 200 in some lower stress areas.

Here's my GW station:

Dell XPS M1710 gaming laptop
T2500 Core Duo CPU (2.0 ghz)
1Gig DDR2 RAM
NVidia 7900GTX-512MB video card
Dell Ultrasharp 17" wide screen display, 1920x1200 resolution
SB Audigy2 sound
8x CD/DVD burner
100BT NIC + 802.11g wireless

CPU will be upgraded to Merom Core2Duo once available from Dell. This thing is a BEAST... Allows my to play GW at 1920x1200 max settings 60+ fps anywhere, any time (thanks to EDGE/GPRS). The only thing missing is a 3G wireless broadband ExpressCard.

Mine is a Dell Dimension 4100 (about 5 years old) with Pentium 3 1ghz, 512 MB ram (the max it can hold ) and a GeForce4 Ti4100 card. I have to keep everything at lowest settings and still only get about 15 fps...

Hopefully I can buy a new computer in January

The system is starting to show it's age, and it is about time for another upgrade. This was about top of the line when I first built it in 2004. I also use it for recording and editing sound, and for video editing.
