i Have Celeron 2.2Ghz, Windows XP pro, 768 MBRam, 82845g Intergrated Graphics with latest drivers, Direct X 9. I can play WoW on lowest settings fine with texture put up to max on res 1024x768. Would i at least be able to play this decently?

GW runs fine on my laptop, which has almost the exact same specs as your system, it seems. Short answer, if you can run WoW on it, then you can run GW on it.

Your integrated graphics, how much video ram is included or is it doing the swap thing with the montherboard ram? That would be troublesome if it is doing the swap thing. I'd say if you have 64+ megs of video ram and the integrated graphics is the equivalent of an nividia 5200 or ATI 9600 XT you should be fine. The game client for GuildWars is virtually a no overhead program of 96 or 128k, yes I said "k," not some 600 meg behemoth that is swapping actual code in and out of memory just to run.

*Edit* Go to www.guildwars.com and download the client, then run it. It'll do it's set up thing and then should take you to the login screen. Hmmm, it might take you to the one for the beta code, if you don't have one you won't get to the login screen. I don't remember, it's been a long time since I installed the program. Anyway, if you can get to the login screen see if the graphics is laggy and adjust to smoothness, if you can't you have your answer to your question. If you can adjust it to smoothness or adjust up to where it lags and back off to smooth then you probably will be able to play "decent." The best answer to the question is a matter of fact when it is so easily available.

Sounds fine, just remember that IGP's are always going to be slower and almost always are set to leech off of system RAM instead of having their own dedicated memory.

Yuck. Celeron

. Don't worry, at 2.2 GHz it should run GW fine.
