p4 1.7ghz
512mb Ram
40gig HD
16mb Video card nvidea 2 <------ my main issue
Now while everything else supports, my video card is the prob, i know the min card require is 32, but to buy it and upgrade would cost me $110 plus shipping.

My older desktop PC (which is now some 7 years old) has slightly higher specs than that and barely runs FFXI at a decent framerate at 800x600 resolution, so I don't even know if the game would be playable even if it runs at all.

Well, I know on the computer I use most of the time, the graphics card is below the "minimum" requirement. (And not by a small amount either.) And everything looks and runs pretty well. Some things are more noticeable though, like when I have a staff on my back, it doesn't always look like a clean cut smooth line, but more jagged. And when I take screenshots, the image doesn't look as pretty as it looked when I was playing. But overall, the lesser quality is actually pretty minimal. It's not enough to make me complain, or wish I had a better card. (Except when it comes to screenshots.  ) | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 09-26-2007, 07:55 PM | #5 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Posts: 22 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Laptop upgrading always makes me want to cry, I'm a desktop kinda guy. Gah, damn you Shantotto!  Sanctuary of Zi'tah!   "In this world, the one who has the most fun is the winner!"
