hey,my comp is being fixed in a comp shop atm and was wondering should i upgrade ram too?

from 512 to 2gigs

as in are the others a bit outdated, i'd like this to last a good while.

the other specs are:
3.4GHz intel pebtium processor 550 with HT technology
GeForce 6610XLm128mb DDR3 Memory at 800MHz
512 RAM, DDR 400MHz 64 bit duel channel memory.

whoa definitely upgrade your RAM to at least 1GB. 512 is quite low these days.

Would grab a new card as well. I'm guessing it's PCI? I'd check, but I'm lazy

yup, get more RAM and a better 3D card you'll run EOTN sweet as.

The game, and just about everything else too would smoother with more RAM. 1 gigabyte should be considered a minimum at the moment.

Having 2 GB pretty much eliminates any stuttering caused by insufficient RAM but it may not be a big improvement over 1 GB unless you often have dozens of browser tabs, IM windows and other stuff open while playing Guild Wars.

I'd go with 2gigs, just to future proof your Pc a little. May as well do it now while you're on the up, eh?

I run my system with the following, without going into too much detail:

p4 3gig HT
1 gig RAM corsair dual channel
9800xt (agp)

My xt took a hit from a power surge a few months back, and as a result I have to under-clock quite drastically to keep it stable.. I still run GWs on absolute high with 25-50 fps. (dips low in massive crowds). Before the failure I had a very stable 40-60 fps. Anything around the power of this card will run GWs high and fine with on current system plus upgraded RAM.

<-- Not lazy

"It is a rebadged (and marginally slower) version of the 6600GT for Medion to sell through ALDI in Europe."(from video card forum Like to say which, but not sure Im allowed) It is a few years old though, so I would upgrade to something better. Not necessarily top of the line new, but something from no more than 18 months ago. Also, 2GB of RAM is almost a must now, get PC 3200 at least, and dont forget to make sure its low latency, preferably 2 or 2.5, if your mobo supports it.
