Does not look like you can, your processor and RAM don't meet the minimun requirements, your RAM being the main issue (unless your video card is below the recommended). Here is what the Mythic has stated for Minimum Requirements:
Quote:
Pentium III 1.4GHz or AMD equivalent

384 MB RAM

Requires compatible 3D Acceleration card with 32 MB Video RAM DirectX 9 or later

*Minimum requirements in this case are being used to represent one specific type of system configuration that we have found to provide good, stable performance when playing Trials of Atlantis. Many other types of system configurations will run very well with Trials of Atlantis. Although you may not meet a specified requirement with one hardware component, meeting or exceeding a requirement with another hardware component may be suitable enough for you to be able to play trials of Atlantis. Below is an explanation regarding this:

--The most important thing for good performance is your video card. Upgrading your video card will give you the biggest boost to Trials of Atlantis game performance, and could allow you to run the game on a slower CPU, etc.

--The second most important thing for good performance is system RAM. Upgrading your RAM to 384 MB or higher will give you a good performance boost.

--Finally, your CPU definitely plays a factor in Trials of Atlantis performance. You will achieve better load times and performance from a faster CPU.
Recommended Requirements are:
Quote:
Pentium 4 2GHz or AMD equivalent

512 MB RAM

NVidia GeForce 4 Ti series 3D video card with 64 MB Video RAM DirectX 9 or later

Just wanted to say that DAoC runs flawlessly on my 1GHz Athlon system. Of course, it *does* have a gigabyte of RAM. :)

that ram will help more then the power of the CPU.

in order things that will make the most noted differance to a lot of games.

RAM
Vid card
CPU
HD speed

more ram is good if running 2k or XP, if still running win9x system, best thing you can do is upgrade completly.

more ram and speed on the vid card will help in being able to add more graphics to the game with less system lag.

stronger CPU is just that, more brain power for your computer. some games use CPU more then vid power.

HD speed, this will help games like EQ, SWG, DAoC, etc when they start, or have to load from your system a new major area. in EQ this is every time you zone, in SWG and DAoC its when you enter capital cities, or other 'please wait' areas.

Your CPU should be fine, as I used a PII400 Mhz computer for a little while. Your RAM is too low. Go with 512MB at least IMO.

Your videocard must also meet the spec listed above.

I havent used a landline for a while, but it use to work.

If you want to use Trials of Atlantis, you will the specs the above poster posted. I think the classic game requires less.

Upgrade your comp if you can. You might just be able to drop in a $50 CPU (athlon XP 2500) and a 512 stick of RAM ($50) and be fine. Remember to check on the video card though.

If you are just tryin to run the classic client and don't care about the lag and bad graphics you can run the game with a 1gig proc 215meg ram and a 16meg vid card that doesn't support DirX(don't ask me how but I got it working on a system with thoes spec) it isn't bad after tweaking it a bit, but SI or TOA no chance running on a system like I mentioned
