Dont know if my computer will run eq2 well enoughFollow

#1 Jul 19 2006 at 3:29 PM Rating: Decent
I am pretty sure that I want to make a switch from WoW to eq2, but my PC specs are the very minimum requirments needed to play the game. If there is anyone else who have the same specs out there or have knowledge of how the game run under those conditions could you please tell me will I be exping super lag spikes and freeze screen shots during gameplay? Thanx in advance!

Well, wanna link your specs?

The game is pretty hardware intensive so it might pay to check out the 7 day free trial .

See how it runs on your comp for free.

EQ2 takes no prisoners when it comes to system requirements so if your rig is bare minimum, you will be probably be able to play but only at the bottom setting and with all the "pretty" stuff turned off. In addition, you will undoubtedly experience heinous lag in cities, towns and other heavily populated zones. You might as well forget about traveling in dungeons as well...

To run smoothly, you will need:

3 GHZ CPU
!-2 GB ram
128-256 MB vid card

Can you get away with less? Yes, but it won't be pretty!

This might be a good time to start thinking about a new computer!

I only have 1 gig of ram but I cracked open my dell and it looks like I have room for 2 more slots so when I get ambitious enough I will need to upgrade to 2 gig.
