MMORPG taxes what hardware?

[matty101]

What hardware is most important for these types of games? IE ram,CPU, GPU etc.

silly matty, MMORPG's don't tax hardware!
well, they mainly use up alot of ram and CPU power, GPU power only if you crank up the settings. They're made to run on alot of systems.

Ok, thanks. I am putting together a system, and wanted to make sure that a game like this could be played seamlessly on my pc while running cad(work) or something in the background. I'd like to see how the game looks with all the features turned up. I don't play alot but when I do play I like it to be smooth. Also I am upgrading from a very old system, yr 2001 is when I built it.

MMORPGs usually aren't high requirement. The high requirement ones all fail in number of community

Depends... I've heard of the game and how it's a good MMORPG. Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell cuz I really don't know much about it

just following the logic of it good looking mmorpg's dieing, I've seen it and it does actually acheive a decent amount of IQ (seriously)

Depending on your game of choice, assuming you're running something like autocad, Here's where I anticipate the chokepoints to be, in order of priority:

Network, Wallet

Ram (Capacity), GPU, CPU.

Disk speed.

Depends on the game. Everquest was mostly RAM and secondly video, probably the same for SWG, Everquest 2 was more video than RAM, Vanguard was everything, Guild Wars runs on pretty much anything decently.

I don't think any mass-market MMOGs really use much network bandwidth, other than for downloading updated files. Well, unless you count Second Life, which was continually downloading the world into a cache as you moved around.

Ya ram is big especially in WOW and stuff. But it depends on the game.
