yeah but, can i have an account on both comp. so could i log in on another comp, if i knew my password and email? if i could than i guess i dont need a friends key

Nova · Mar 05, 2005, 08:09 PM // 20:09

I think he means graphic card is bettter. But Lovitar is right. They made it so a very large range of audiance would be able to enjo this game. If I don't find someone by the next BWE, I will give you my freind key.

Considering your pretty much my friend now.

you would need to download the files to the other pc but you can check in on any pc with your login

no need for a pass if you have the account already

dl client put it on the other pc and go

if you can fast transfer the files fast from your lappy that would be quicker

i dont know what that means but thanks for the info, ill go download the client on the other comp sometime soon, tell you if it works cause i know your so intrested that if it works or not

Nova · Mar 05, 2005, 08:28 PM // 20:28

And I'M getting the warnings... Lavitar here completly murdered the English language like it says NOT to do.

I will decypher what he said for you.

You would need to download the the files to the other PC, but you can sign in on any PC with your account.

No need for a password if you made the account already.

Download the client, put it on your other PC, and go.

If you can fast transfer teh files rom your laptop, that would be quicker.

There you go Whosa.

Whosa Skylore · Mar 05, 2005, 08:37 PM // 20:37

i dont know what fast transfer is, thats what i was asking, but im just gonna download the client on the other comp and log in and see if it works

Nova · Mar 05, 2005, 08:39 PM // 20:39

That would be the thing to do considering I am not sure either. Jsut download it and see if the menu wrks for now. Sign in, hopefully it says that you hvae an account, but it will say its not active untill a BWE.

Loviatar · Mar 05, 2005, 08:41 PM // 20:41

anything like a USB port on both pcs with a usb cable that would allow file transfer

if the lappy has a cd player that would copy files onto the blank cd that would be fine

burn the GW file and simply transfer it to the other pc

otherwise just redownload as you go

This is what it says on mine:

Device:

Name: Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controllers
Manufacturer: Intel Corp.
Chip Type: Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller
DAC Type: Internal
Aprox. Total Memory; 64.0 MB
Current Display Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 Bit) (60 Hz)
Monitor: Compaq 7550 Color Moniter

Drivers: ialmrnt5.dll
Version: 6.13.0001.3485 (English)
WHQ Logo'd: No
Mini VDD: ialmrnt5.sys
VDD: n/a
DDI Version: 8

Direct X Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Is that good enought to run the game smoothly?

Loviatar · Mar 05, 2005, 10:41 PM // 22:41

it should but you will be missing all the nifty pixel and vertex shader parts of the graphics as that is direct x 7 performance but is compatable with the latest direct x
go to start>run>type *dxdiag* (no *) and check out your display and run the diagnostic tests (display tab)

TheCrusader · Mar 05, 2005, 11:11 PM // 23:11

I tested and saw the DirectX cube with a green X on it every time. Is that good?

Loviatar · Mar 06, 2005, 12:22 AM // 00:22

if something was wrong it would give an error message

try it and see how it works for you is all i can say

also a lot of the stuff we are downloading will be on the game discs when it comes out so load times should be reduced for all of us

TheCrusader · Mar 06, 2005, 02:50 AM // 02:50

Ok thanks for all the help!!

Whosa Skylore · Mar 13, 2005, 05:40 PM // 17:40

ok i downloaded the client on this comp (old one) and found out my graphics card, i dont think its very good either now that i look at it, its a
Diamond S60 32MB DDR Radeon 7000PCI

lol will this do better than the other one?

Loviatar · Mar 13, 2005, 05:52 PM // 17:52

it is a dx7 card that is still available new for 33 dollars at newegg.com

typical review says that it is a nice card for net surfing but will not give you gaming quality graphics

Keramon · Mar 13, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Actually there are very few manufacturers that actually make laptops ... most of them are braded, but originate from I think it is 3 factories Worldwide (well it used to be).

I actually use a laptop that was quite cheap 18 months ago but it is still a P4 3GZ laptop with 128 mb Graphics card. The specs of my laptop were not available in a Dell for around 14 months after I got mine.

Anyone looking for an inexpensive notebook may want to look at
www.sagerlaptops.com or www.pctorque.com
They also do have an "upgradeable graphics card", they may not be as "sexy" as the alienware ... but they are considerably cheaper.

Mine is quite heavy though, but is pretty much specced for gaming.

I believe the Intel roadmap has them releasing a new laptop processor "Yonah" slated for the end of 2005. Whereas duel core intel processors for the PC are expected before this.

With all of that said, laptops are still and will remain inferior to their desktop counterparts, but they are certainly able to run Guildwars with no problems.

Whosa Skylore · Mar 14, 2005, 11:24 PM // 23:24

well neither of you answerd my question, which one is better :~P lol well also heres my other card.

S3 Graphics Inc. Savage4

i had one of those way back in the late mid 90s

according to a game magazine at the time it proved 32 megs of ram didnt make a gaming card

i dont think that will do well at all if at all

Whosa Skylore · Mar 15, 2005, 12:37 AM // 00:37

so which one should i use?!?

Loviatar · Mar 15, 2005, 01:00 AM // 01:00
