Hi,

My system

AMD Athlon 64Bit 3200+ CPU
2 GB DDR2 Ram
Geforce 6800GT GPU
Win XP

Actually I only have 1 GB of DDR RAM but if it makes a difference i'll be off to buy another today :)
How will I run this in a resolution like 1152*864 or something like that?
Will it be with all setting on low? Or will it be with most of them on medium and maybe even a few on higher settings?

I'm really hooked on this game because of the graphics so I cant decide if I should wait until I get a new computer in 2-3-4 months
or just buy it now with the above.

Please help - thanks!

Thanks!

How much will it matter if I have 1 or 2 GB ram? I have some troubles finding the correct RAM at reasonable price so im wondering if 1GB will be enough?

In your advanced graphic settings make sure to have post processing effects and 3d portraits turned off (depending on your base settings these may already be off) and you will gain about a 10-20% fps increase. The main problem you will run into will be Bree and PvMP raids where the more stuff that is going on your screen will freeze you up. In those situations just drop your graphics down to very low.
