My question still is: buy or not?

I'm an Xbox gamer so should I buy this game or not (I'll help Sony by buying it)? Ok that was just for fun. I won't buy a new PC this month or the next month or the next month... My PC is almost 3 years old... That's what I have:

P3 996Mhz (not 1Ghz!)
256 MB SDRAM 100Mhz
64 MB SDRAM Graphics card GF 4 420 MX

Is this worh buying? Spending $12/month
+stupid Xbox Live subscription $6/month

I know that it has nothing to do with this game (Xbox Live subs) but shit... This is too much money to spend!

My sister won't borrow me her PC (that is twice as better as this...) Damn, this is so gay... I wanna play some good FPS but no... When my brother bought his first computer he was only ten... That was like 11 years ago with superfast DX. That "thing" last 3 years for good gaming and that "thing" on the top only one... That I had to upgrade it... Damn... Why don't they just stop that rush and just patch up the game so it will run like it supposed to. I bet if they would patch it you could even run it on Celeron 500 Mhz... But no..

Well, should I buy it or not? (Yes, and my love are FPS games)

Upgrade memory and CPU and, of course, BUY!!! The game rocks if you like Fist Person Shooters. This games got it all! Action, suspence, romance! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and, most importantly, You'll Frag!!!
Seriously though, get some upgrades and play that funky music.... errr.... I mean play planetside.

All right. I'll "try" to get some upgrades... Memory, that's all I can upgrade. I won't overclock anything... The max. memory my pc can handle is 512 MB SDRAM.

Will it work with 30 FPS on my computer?

I dont know if i should buy it or not too. I'm going to get a laptop in a few days because i need one for college but i dont know if it will run.
The laptop will have:
P4 2.2-2.4GHz
512MB DDRAM
GeForce4 420 go
32MB video memory

You mean you are going to play on your laptop? Hm... Is it any fun with that trackball on your keybord? (Ok I know you can buy a mouse...) But playing on a laptop?

SC385 · 2003-05-29, 10:48 PM

like i said, i have to have one for college(my major requires it) but i planned on buying a mouse for it anyways. I hate those touch pads.

Most laptops now have all the ports of a desktop on the back of them. My friend plays on a laptop, but it is pluged into a seperate monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speaker. he just starts the thing up, folds it up and sets it aside.

Ya ya ya... But still my question is...

Will it work with 30 FPS on my computer? (Go to the top for specifications...)

SC385 · 2003-05-29, 10:54 PM

will mine work too?

Krogen · 2003-05-29, 10:56 PM

On your laptop? Sure...

SC385 · 2003-05-29, 11:00 PM

yay! I wish i could help you too but i dont know much about hardware or the game. Sorry.

JackBoCracken · 2003-05-29, 11:09 PM

It will be playable, but not very fun unless you add another 256-512 MB of RAM.

I'd suggest waiting a month before buying anyway, until they work the kinks out.

SC385 · 2003-05-29, 11:11 PM

but i want it now

Then it seems you've already decided weather or not to buy it.

now that i was told it would work on my laptop but it being choppy at the moment kills it.
