A Return with a new PC...Follow

Hey folks,

I have been off playing other MMO's (WoW, War mostly) and have had my EQ2 account on ice since July 2007! I have been tempted to make a return to Everquest 2 recently, and had some questions before I do so...

I just purchased a new gateway FX PC. The system is running Windows Vista 64 bit. In addition, my system has a Nvidia 9800 GT graphics card, 6GB ram, and a 2.5 GHTZ Quad-Core cpu. I was wondering if the Vista 64 would be a problem with this game? Also, I was curious as to how my new system could run this game? I was browsing the forums here and noticed in the last update, they altered something with the game to utilize duo and quad cores?

Any information would be much appreciated. I have grown bored of Warhammer already and won't continue to play. My run in World of Warcraft may be short lived as well ( I may hang around for the Xpack but not sure yet). I am missing my Necromancer :(

They are slowly implementing dual/quad core support in to the game. So far, only animations and some flora texturing are supported and there is only dual core support. But, they are planning on adding more support one bit at a time as they upgrade each of the components.

I have a quad core with 8 gigs of RAM.. on the test server, my 2nd core is only touched during zoning currently.. and my 3rd and 4th cores are not utilized at all. So, RAM, CPU and a newer video card with LOTS of VRAM on it will still be the dominating aspects as to how your system runs EQ2. A multi-core processor has very little effect on your game play at the moment, but its getting better.
