While I would reccommend the Radeon 9600 over a Radeon 9200, I've heard of no real problems running Guild Wars on the Radeon 9200. It's a nice solution if you're not interested in spending large amounts of money.

So you're saying that 9200 is the lowest I can use cause its $100 and i dont have a lot of money specialy I have to get Guild Wars also.

It's not the lowest you CAN use, it's the lowest we WOULD use.

For 80 dollars that is a very good buy, that is the lowest video card I would suggest for a smooth ride. As for installing it im sure many people here could walk you through it.

This guide is a bit complicated, but the first few steps are great. http://www.directron.com/howtovideo.html

I know people who can run this game with Geforce FX 5200's, and some with even less powerful graphics cards. That should be fine for running Guild Wars.

You made a good choice choosing a Chaintech card, by the way, they are my favourite Nvidia providers next to XFX.

256mB RAM sounds very low, and with an integrated graphics card too you may have a lot of problems running guild wars. If possible, could you tell us exactly which graphics processor it is?

Should run okay, but don't expect full detail.

Axle_the_Red · May 24, 2005, 08:51 PM // 20:51

with 256 MB ram, what does that do to the game? laggy, or hardly playable?

and whats a good (CHEAP) graphics card that will work? nothing fancy, just playable.

thanks!

*edit*
I have found a

Does anyone have any experience running GW on a laptop? Specifically looking for SiS Mirage 2 shared 128 meg video. I know that there are issues with the intel integrated graphics but havent heard about SiS.

Thanks

I had bought and play Guild Wars when I can, However sometimes when I try to buy/sell things from merchants I get kicked, also when I try and put things into storage am kicked and if there is alot going on ( ie my party are all casting spells.) I get kicked lol

. So the upshot is I get kicked and my comp restarts alot. I am a complete and utter tech tard so I really would be delighted if some one (ANYYYYYYYYYYYYYONE pleaasseee) can help.

My system is an e machine 2220
2.70 ghz
40 gb
512 ram
Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller

I have just upgraded from 256 ram to 512 and it definately makes things move quicker. I want to upgrade my video card but in the mean time would quite like a fix for the above if possible!!!

p/s hi am new

Hi LLL,

It should work fine on your laptop with the 9000 series IGP you have there as I have a laptop along side my Desktop with the same IGP and it runs perfectly.
As for the memory though of 382, i would recommend at least upping that to 512mb especially with XP running on the system. It's one resource hungry OS and more often than not, has gobbled most of the Ram up if you have a few other programs running at the same time.
