  • How will this computer hold up

    I know it isn't the best and it will probably be sluggish at times online, but, I just want to know if it really is feesable to play.

    Now, I know I could use a better pc, but that IS NOT feesable at the moment, so any suggestions to that, are gladly noted, then deleted. it will atleast be 4 or 5 months until I can save up the extra money, then I fully intend on building my own PC. but until a few of my finicial situations are resolved I can't do that, but I want to play this game, come release day.

    P3 800mhz
    512 RAM
    Geforce FX5200
    Windows ME



    I actually haven't put in the new VC yet, but with my MX 440, I'm currently getting around 1660 on the new BM.

    Like i said, maybe in the coming months I will get the materials to build my own PC, but right now I just can't. Actually someone might get me a new TV for my bday in November, I might just ask for them to buy me a Barebone with a p4 and other stuff in it, I'm sure I can find one around 300 bucks, just about how much the TV costs. so we will see.

    anyway, how awful will the game be? or will I still be able to enjoy myself? i'm just in for mostly for the community, making friends, and rp'ing, the best graphics in the world aren't my concern.

    It'll work, just reduce the resolution some.:spin:

      I've always had my desktop setting on 800x600

      is that the only place i need to change the resolution? i'd suppose so, seeing as how I think I've searched every inch of that dang PC and it's the only resolution settings I've ever seen.

      also, will FFXI have it's own options with the POL or anything, that I can turn my options down?

      oh well, I'll just wait till monday, slap that new vc in and see what kinda score I get then just cross my fingers, later

        First off, put either windows 98 on your machie, or windows xp. (Windows XP is preferred). If you need help on that let me know. Windows ME is the bullshit of OS it's horrable ^_^.

          well thanks for the advice, but I'm going to stick with ME, I very much dislike 98 and I don't think my computer would react well to an xp conversion in my opinion.

          but if i was going to do it, I think I could manage by myself but thanks for the offer.
