I was wondering if the screenshots i saw at the EQ site looked as good as in game.
I haven't seen the shots you're talking about, but the "look" of the game varies a lot depending on a lot of things. For instance, what expansion area you're in (the "old world" looks cruder than the newest zones), the amount of detail you have EQ set to show, whether or not you have spell effects on, etc. No doubt the screenshots were made with the maximum eye candy possible, but you may want to tone some of it down for performance reasons.

I also dont know what class/race im gonna be yet 2 of my friends are frogs dont know bout the others.
Pick whatever sounds fun. If it seems too hard, consider trying another class. You have eight character slots per server (unless you play on some special rules servers, namely Firona Vie and Sullon Zek) so don't be afraid to experiment. If you have specific race/class questions, ask away but there's not "best" class or race.

Is starting out in EQ hard or easy becuase ive played AO and ive learned it quickly and played for about one year.
The first ten levels are basically made just to learn the game. You suffer no xp loss for deaths, don't have to corpse run to reclaim equipment, you get accelerated mana regeneration, etc. "Easy" is in the eye of the beholder, but the learning curve is definately smoothed from when EQ was a younger game.

Also is there any specific server in EQ that n00bs can group in or any other low lvls can group in?
Morden Rasp and Stromm are the two newest servers and are considered the "newbie" servers, in that Sony encourages new players to try them out due to their higher population of "lowbies" to group and adventure with. Aside from Stormhammer, a premium server (with a $50/mth pricetag), you have free access to all the SOE servers so if you don't like Morden Rasp, try another.

Is this game like SWG?(not an SWG fan).
Never played SW:G, but from reports I've heard on it, no.

One last question how many servers are there?
I believe there's presently 45+ servers. Most are just basic servers, but a few have special rulesets, namely Player vs. Player.

I heard u need a good graphics card for EQ so can anyone tell me if my GeForce 4 is good enough.
Should be peachy. I don't know what kind of GeForce4 you have, but regardless it should be more than sufficent to start playing the game.
