Can I run it? at least on low settings and 1366x768 resolution?

Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz CPU
CPU Speed 2.0 GHz
RAM 3.0 GB
OS Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
Video Card Intel(R) HD Graphics
Pixel Shader version 4.0
Vertex Shader version 4.0
Dedicated Video RAM 64 MB
Disk Space 203.0 GB

I did a can you run it test and all past except for Graphics. So I am thinking I can still run it?

The PVE areas you'd have issues with the events like they are currently running. Large groups are required to complete the events they have been putting out.
As far as trying it out, they do from time to time, have a free trial weekend. They haven't had one lately, so maybe they'll do one soon. It is very CPU intensive, but if you want it on anything over low, you'll need a good GPU as well. I can play on low settings, with my laptops AMD A6 quad core, 8GB of RAM, and HD6520G gpu. I have get about 10 - 15 FPS, on LOW, when I get into a heavy populated area. It also take a bit to load and map change. It VERY hard to play at those frame rates.

Now on the other hand, my desktop Intel I3770 Quad core overclocked to 4.5 Ghz 16GB of RAM...

As a GW2 player since launch, I would HIGHLY suggest a better system for it. You MAY be able to play it, but for most of the events that happen, you will SERIUOSLY see a slow down. Even the World Versus World, large groups of other players, or any event will pretty much bring your game to a stand still, and you will be killed before you know it happened.

Thats the thing I don't have the cash to upgrade. What about just doing PVE? It is funny it is either GW2 which I would really love to play or Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 for xbox 360.

Do you know if there is a way or game to test to see if it would run GW2? I wish there was a trial for it.

You could get it, try it, and if it doesn't play to your liking, put it aside until you upgrade your PC. Or, wait for a free weekend, install and try it. You don't loose any money then. Personally, I'd wait for the free weekend option.

Thats the thing though I have no idea when I will be able to upgrade or get a new computer..could be this year could be next year. I just really really want an mmorpg to play and all the free to play ones I have played do not interest me. Thing with the free weekend thing is that could be too long before it happens.

First there aren't a lot of people in those areas at the times of the videos.
Both systems have better CPU's then yours. They are at least dual or Quad core CPU's

Buy it and try it. I am sure it will run..... maybe not as well as you'll want.
