Question What computers do the average users have for Guildwars?
Reading another post it occured to me that no ones looked at what type of PC power people have. Hee hee I run a modest:

Intel 2.4ghz HT with a ABIT IC7-G
512megs DDR
Asylam Geforce FX Ultra 5600
Lite-On DVDr
TDK CD-RW
Sound Blaster Audigy
with a CPU temp of 85 degrees (It's an induction fan runs about 5600rpms free floating)

The other comp that plays GW is:
Intel 3.4ghz HT with a ABIT IC7
512megs DDR
Geforce 3 64megs
Lite-On DVDr
Philips CD-RW
Sound Blaster Live Gamer 5.1
ADSL 3mbit dl / 50kbps ul

SO what do you have?

Proving that GW runs well on modest hardware:

CPU: Athlon XP 1700+
Video: GeForce FX 5200
Memory: 512MB RAM
Motherboard: Don't remember model number, but old enough that I actually have an ISA slot.
Sound: On the mobo.

Incidently, I ran the WPE and BWE1 with a GeForce4 MX 440 and 384MB RAM, and it ran fine, if not quite as pretty...
