First off, i have 1024mb ram and a Radeon 9600 Series 128mb graphic card, will i have any problems with lagg and for any of u people who know ure g-cards u think my gameplay will look anything like the screenshots?

Second Question kinda the same thing but my friend has a dial-up connection - for u people that might have run a dialup and this game was it tollerable(sp?) as far as lagg goes for GvG or did u get any at all?

Thnx

First question - Yeah, i think that it will look like the screenshots. Rght now i have 768 MB ddr pc 2700 i think it is, and a radeon 9500. I can run on almost max detail at about 1024 by 764 i think it is, without much lagg. You have a better system then i do, so it will be great on yours. Even when you are running on the lowest detail, it still looks very sweet. Hope thats some help.

For GVG I found dial-up was not very good. The first battle would be very long to get in, the next battle was shorter but still maybe 5 minutes to get into the match.

PVE I found I could just go into the area before hand, like walk into an explorable or enter missions alone, go get dinner or whatever, come back and go back into the outpost if I wasn't already. Then the files are loaded for the PVE, when I join a team, the wait is maybe 30 seconds.

If you have BellSouth service around your area, you can get DSL for about the same price as AOL's dial-up, which is what Ill be switching to soon.

I was in a jam at the time.

Pacific Bell or whatever their name is now, they were the ones keeping DSL out of my area. I was 17,000 cable feet from one of their offices so no way to get dsl until...They put in some sort of extension station? I forgot what it is named, never been good with names. Anyway, it was up and running the following month so I contacted earthlink and got their, 2nd best at the time 384k-1.5m adsl package for the same price everyone else was charging for the bottom of the line dsl that only went up to 384k. It has worked fine so far, though i went through 2 Linksys routers, in a month (1 died in 3 days!) So had to pick another brand. Average is 400k so I can't complain. Have had occasional 1.3m accesses.
