 * Hehe, clever. It is a bit big, though. :\ Also the colors need a bit of tweaking. A link that's already been clicked on is purple, and so is the background, so it is slightly hard to read. Good icon choice though. :) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 11:31, 18 March 2007 (CDT)

!Entropy Needs Technical Assistance!
Does anyone out there play GW successfully with very crappy or outdated hardware? If so, I need your expertise, since I am wondering if I can do the same thing!

There's only one comp in my house that fits the minimum specs for running Guildwars. Right now I'm on a comp that meets all the min requirements except...


 * Video card. I have ATI Radeon 7500; min is 8500.
 * 16-bit Sound Card. It's a laptop so I just have some super basic built-into-motherboard thing.

I have the RAM, the free HDD, Internet, mouse, keyboard, processor, Windows XP, etc. It's just those two things that I do not quite meet. My question is, is it really that important? Can I actually play GW without meeting some of the minimum requirements or will the game simply refuse to run? And if it does run, will the inadequate hardware completely cripple me? I don't care if I have to play without sound since it's not really important in non-elite PvE places or Faction Farming...But it might be a problem if the graphics become so bad that I cannot see what I am doing. Also, I only have DSL but this is a laptop, so naturally it is underpowered...Will this be a problem in regards to lag? I know GW can run on dial-up, but there's a certain point of slowness where it is just not worth it anymore. (T/C) 03:05, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmm... The sound card shouldn't really be a problem, some people play with it off anyway (though it is helpful to hear distinct skill noises, helps you know what's going on around you). Not too sure about the graphics card though. I wouldn't be surprised if it refused to run, but if it does, you will need to ensure graphics settings are on minimum and play for short lengths of time, and probably keep the card well-vented. I'm not completely positive on this, my brother is better with hardware, but if it will run you need to keep it cooled --Gimmethegepgun 03:35, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well I've given up for now (download/install doesn't seem to be happy atm for whatever reason...) but I will try again tomorrow and see what happens. I am glad to hear the sound card is irrelevant (I'm too prO in Prophecies to need it :p). Graphics though...darn. I guess it isn't too much of a long shot since it's not like I'm running 6500 or something totally out of the question. Like you I am no pro on hardware stuff so I dunno how big a difference it would make. Like I said, it's a laptop, so not much I can do with cooling other than perhaps elevate it somewhat...well. Anyways, thanks for replying, and I hope this will work. Not being able to play GW after hours is annoying... :( [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 05:20, 19 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Hehe, after hours.... Yep, once again I forgot to go to sleep last night :P --Gimmethegepgun 06:53, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Video card shouldn't be a problem. Heck, I ran Guild Wars on a GeForce 2 MX/MX440 (I think it was 64MB) on minimum, and it ran fine. That computer, however, is long dead, since the power supply fan just died, and I couldn't be bothered replacing it (gave great incentive to buy a BETTAR computer). Yes, I know it's been about a fortnight since the issue, but I defected to the official-wiki to watch skill commentary. Oh, and HHoF needs updating! --Kale Ironfist 23:51, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

I'm the expert in crappy comp GW gaming. I have this:
 * Intel Celeron 1.3 Ghz.
 * 256 Mb RAM.
 * 32 Mb VRAM.
 * 16-bit Sound Card.

My Secret? HDD turned into RAM, using the Pagefile. http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/WindowsGeneralWeb/RAMVirtualMemoryPageFileEtc.htm Ereanor 14:25, 1 August 2007 (CDT) PS: Kale Ironfist is right. If the game runs, then your Vcard's fine. If you're slow and laggy, it's a RAM issue.
