First of all, if this is the incorrect forum I will gladly delete this thread and repost it in the appropriate place.
The question I have is related to my system and its ability to run the game.
Using http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest the only part that fails is my video card. (I knew this before I even checked) The rest of the minimum requirements pass.
My system is;
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2.99 GHz Performance Rated at 4.49 GHz)
1015mb Ram
Plenty of free disc space.
As I said, I'm currently running on on-board video as my last card stopped working.
What I would like to know is, would adding a GeForce 8600GT to my system allow me to play Age of Conan? Quality really doesn't matter too much. I'm limited to an 8600 due to my PSU and I cannot afford to upgrade both at this time.
The things I see working in my favour, what little there are, are that I will be running the game at 1280x1024 resolution or lower and more then likely in windowed mode.
So in the end, will the game be playable on my system or am I completely out of luck? Also, if it will run, will it run well enough (read 20ish FPS) that I wont bash my head against a wall. If it will, I will surely get some more ram in the immediate future.
Thanks.
Edit: Just for a reference, this is the card I was looking to get, or something very similar (this one seems to have much high clock speeds then others) http://www.onlinevip.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=4_48_137&products_id=762&osCsid=90b5607526464d583f27fcce2cd718be
