What are the TRUE System RequirementsFollow

when it comes to large scale raids (like the end of open beta) where it was like 10 or so on 100 or so. i really think 256 ram wont cut it, it didnt on my girlfriends comp so we upgraded hers today to 512. Ram and graphics card are key for large scale battles

The game ran pretty smooth on my father's pc during beta:

AMD Athlon 900
512MB PC 133 Ram
AOpen Geforce2MX 64MB (one of the first ones out, not the lower end ones)

Graphics aren't the nicest. And it can get a lil choppy in some areas but usually fps stays stable around 26, peaked at 40 in certain areas.

But main rig that runs it really smooth is:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1Gig DDR400
ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB.

Even with Max vid settings, max rez and everything turned on in the drivers, the game doesn't even hiccup.

Ps. Yes I'm an AMD/ATI guy!

When I installed the beta, I got a message warning me that my processor speed was too low (I'm on a p3 with 450 mhz)

I scoff at their alarmist warnings! I ran the beta just fine. My gfx card is contemporaneous with the processor, but I have just shy of a gig RAM. I've had worse problems in Diablo II than I did playing WoW.

2.6ghz p4
1024mb ram
nvidia 6800 OC

run at the highest settings and i still get 50-55fps.

so since this seems to be a "How good will my PC run this"..


AMD Athlon 64 3000+
2GHZ

512MB Ram (Think its PC3200 or something, would have to find the box again lol) going to 1gig once I save up some money.
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with 128MB Ram and Omega drivers.

Hmmm, interesting, i'll have to try that probably... Speaking of benchs, why doesn't WoW have one... Probably the OB but for those who were wondering here and didn't get in on the OB (like me) woulda been nice. Oh well only a few more hours then we all can see for oursleves.

Well i've never used the bench program, and i'm on my laptop atm, so I don't know if thats bad or good... Unless it was VERY quick in scoring things (IE going up in 100s at a time instead of 1s) I would say that isn't too bad >.>

LOL

I'm going to OC my CPU soon... Reason i'm holding off is this system is BRAND NEW, built just for games like WoW (which was a driving force behind it) and FFXI. So, atm, the thermal compound I used is still breaking in so my fan wont help as much... and I want that fan pulling full duty before I OC.

I did get that >.>

Read it takes like 500 hours to reach maxium conductivity...

Edit: My HSF is a thermal take, going up to like 5500RPM with speed controller.

My FFXI ran at like 20FPS during all the crowded areas. No lower if I remember correctly. I kinda needa new GFX card. Not badly but if I get some new money I might get a 9800PRO or somethin.

Well it was either a X800PRO or XT. The best is either a X800PE or a 6800Ultra extreme. I just looked around and I can get a 9800PRO for 175.

Lol Info on the net. Does the person know about Encrypted data bases? That is like impossible to get through. Not even the company that your entering it to can check it.
