I was looking on the PS web site and cant find any hint of the Requirments to play. Will this game work on a medicore system or will you have to have a uber gaming machine? Thanks a lot.

They're under the PSU FAQ. Not the official one so I wouldn't blame you.

56K specifically but if ytou're running under 28.8 you might as well kill yourself

Haha they lowered the RAM req? Since when? I have only been gone a month. Oh well I have 1024MB of RAM now. :D RAM is yummy and cheap.

I really wish they would have kept the old high-res models in there for people with the ability to run them . . . maybe for the expansion pack. *sigh*

Yeah, a graphics expansion would be great.... among other things.

sealdude, you probably wont need to overclock it, as long as its close, i have a 900mhz AMD, but I should be fine because i have a ton more ram and a much better video card than are required...

Seal if you have some money you could get like a 1.7 gig CPU for not a lot (A lot less than a Radeon 9800), that is if your MB supports it.

Dude check this out from Newegg.com (have to isntall yourself, but it'll kick that Durons A$$ to the S Pole...)

AMD Athlon 2100B - $88
Asus A7N8X Delux (GOOD sound, network onboard) - $143
Crucial PC2700 256MB (2 sticks) - $82
Sapphire Radeon 9500NP - 155

$468 + Tax (IF CA- total $501.06)

Thats a system you can take names with (OC to 2075Mhz and you have a proc that would be rated 2700-2800+ easy). That system will be able to run almsot anything for the next year (not Doom III at 16X12 but 8X6 with most setting probably)

Or if thats too much, save a couple of pennies and get the above, worth it.

I just picked up this baby last week:

Athlon 2700+
Readon 9700 Pro
Gig O RAM

Bring on the planetside baby! I got a nice home for ya!

Which also brings me to a question: Any of the beta testers in here have readons? And are they working well with Planetside? I know more games are moving to ATI now, I was smiling when I picked up Raven Shield this week and found an ATI ad inside.:)

I'm praying my comp will run PS. If it does'nt, I might as well go and buy another PC. I've already got 2, so I REALLY hope it'll work on one of them.
