Hi, I have an old Compaq Presario and I was just wondering if my comp can handle GW

Intel Celeron Processor
465 MHz
96.0 MB of RAM
and it is running on XP
Thanks in advance

Im pretty sure the answer to that is, no way in hell.

You think that I can play it just with a lot of lag and stuff?

Uhh.. Maybe at about ... 2-5 fps (5 if you're lucky), and the graphics will look like ass. Sorry.

Let's see...

A CPU that's half the required speed, less than half the required memory and more than likely a graphics card that doesn't even do hardware 3D...

I wouldn't even bother trying.

Wow, this is an oprotune moment for a Simpsons quote(well its always a oprotune moment for a Simpsons quote):

"Contemporise Man, contemporise!"

Rinse and repeat.

Sorry, but that system will not run Guild Wars. If you really want to play it, I recommend buying a new computer, upgrading that system to play games will do little.

Ok I bought a GeForceFX 5200 and installed it. Maybe this will help a little. Thats as far as this thing will upgrade. After this I'm just gonna try to buy a cheap comp on ebay or some new parts. Something like that, but w/ the video card will it work with lag? I'm desperate hahaha

I doubt even with that video card it would run. The rest of your specs are far too low. If the 5200 you got is a PCI, you can get a cheap dell if you reallllly are strapped for cash but desperatley want to play GW.

Principa Discordia · May 10, 2005, 07:30 AM // 07:30

NO WAY.

Pariah · May 10, 2005, 12:05 PM // 12:05

There is no way to upgrade that comp to play this game. It will have to be replaced.

funbun · May 10, 2005, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Dude, just look at the requirements. Yours doesn't match up.

You can always upgrade:

Buy a new case, motherboard, cpu, memory. Transfer your power supply (you may need a new one), drives, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

YEARGH! You crippled a geforceFX 5200 with a 465Mhz CPU and 96mb of Ram?! You should be thrown in jail!

(Honestly, don't even bother trying to upgrade... get yourself a new computer)

EnDinG · May 10, 2005, 04:41 PM // 16:41

I almost died laughing reading these posts.

Why?

Because no one bothered to bring up the fact that he has XP installed on that computer. What is the hard drive? 4 gigs?

I'm such an ass.

*EndEdit*
You might want to return that video card as well. Just tell them that you have a PCI computer and made a mistake, you'll go and pick up one of the other cards instead. Then just walk out after you get your refund. It would be a waste of money to keep a card like that.

LOL. I didn't think about that. Yeah dude just buy a new one. Or just buy all new parts and put one together yourself.

UseLessPuppet57 · May 10, 2005, 11:55 PM // 23:55

Fine I'll buy a new comp
The comp has 15 gigs

funbun · May 11, 2005, 12:16 AM // 00:16

15 gig aint too bad. I only allocate 10 gig to xp anyway.

Justr buy the parts you need and salvage everything else liek I said.
