I have 512megs or RAM and a 2.2ghz processor but a shared memory vid
card. What is the biggest and best game I can play with these
restrictions?

....But they're currently in the middle of their April-fool's wackiness
(running a version of the world from 1997), so maybe hold off until
Sunday night

Ultima ONline? Maybe. You're pretty much screwed, almost all of them
require at least a GeForce 2 or better type card. The thing is, and this is
the killer, even the older games like Everquest require it, because they
constantly update the game and keep it updated, and so while EQ ran good on
an original Geforce 256 back in the day, it won't anymore.

Until they come out with the improved graphics engine, Asheron's Call
1 should run well enough.

Note that 'a shared memory vid card' may well be a Geforce 2 or better.
Without knowing what kind of card it is, it's hard to tell what games
will run on it.
