Suggested Upgrades?

[QuantumNull]

Hey, all. I have a computer that hasn't been upgraded for awhile. Need to know whether or not it will run Planetside, and if not, what upgrades I should be looking for. I figure a lot of you have probably upgraded recently, so if you've seen any great deals point me their way.

PC Stats:

Pentium 3 930 Mhz, 512 Mb RAM, GeForce 2 MX/MX 400

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, it probably will not run Planetside. You need a major CPU and Vid card upgrade. How much money are you looking to spend on upgrades?

I purchase PC parts from 2 places, www.newegg.com and www.monarchcomputer.com . You should start there if you are looking for the best prices on parts.

I've run the game on a

Celeron 750 Mhz, 512 Mb RAM PC133, GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 64MB

for hours .. so it plays, and not that bad actually.

How can you only have 512mb of ram yet have the game use 800mb??? (http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6400)

Please explain. :) It shouldn't be using THAT much virtual mem...


And Quantum you should upgrade your entire computer really. :)

QN, I posted on the "Game Discussion" forum on how you can upgrade your PC for under $300. Here is the link to it: http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6302. If you want more stuff, I'll be happy to help you out.

Everything, you can't upgrade enough whitout replacing pretty much everything but your case, HD, CD rom, keyboard, mouse and screen.

If you need a CPU I've got an AMD 1600+ I can sell ya for much cheaper than retail.
