Y'all know better than me, can i get an opinion?
Hi all i know im just a n00b barging in with questions and i apologize for this but any help would be appreciated. I am European and i am just drooling over FFXI. So before i import it, i have to upgrade my computer greatly.

I am thinking about changing the following things

Changing Celeron for P4(either 2.4 - 2.6MHz)
256 MB Ram, all i can afford for now, sadly...
I have 30 GB of space which is more than enough
Windows ME
Changing GFX card to 3D Blaster® 5 FX5700 Ultra


Do you think i did a wise selection with GFX card and such? Will it play FFXI averagely at least? Thank you for your time.

nVidia FX version~
As far as I am aware, being a very big nVidia fan the FX series cards have not lived up to what they claim. If it was a choice between an nVidia FX series card and an ATI Radeon series card, I would sadly go with the ATI series card. Now the nVidia FeForce4Ti series is a good buy though expensive and it seems that FFXI is also in partnership with nVidia so you may be able to get better support if anything goes wrong.

I must admit that I have not done any research on the new drivers released by nVidia on the FX series of cards, so perhaps the performance has been boosted. Will the FX series run FFXI? Of course, but if your looking for more bang for your buck, untill I do more research I would go with ATI Radeon.

Ganbare~!!~

PS:: Kick that celeron~ //< ^_^)b
