Or don't put up with the customer bitching and see how many fast-food jobs you can get yourself fired from over the summer.

The processor really is not a problem. I use to run PS with a 1.6 Ghz pentium 4. Your major bottlenecks will be the RAM and vid card, depending what kind you have as of now.

You can get a 512 stick for ~$100, or you can get another 256 and dual channel for a total of 512. Optimum memory for PS would be a 1gb. I would suggest getting at least 768mb. If you could afford 2 512 sticks, you'd be in good shape, as long as you have a semi-good vid card.

New Video Card

174 Dollers

Assuming you need a new mobo

103 dollers

so your lookin at around 693 Dollers, with the new mobo, and around 590 without, plus tax in both situations.

DISCLAMIER: I DO NOT HOW TO BUILD A COMP FOR SHIT. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT PARTS GO WITH WHAT, AND I DON'T KNOW DIDDLY ABOUT COMPATIBILITY! IF THIS SETUP WORKS IF BY SOME IDIOTIC MIRACLE YOU BUY IT, IM HAPPY FOR YOU. IF NOT, AND YOU WANNA SUE, I'VE SCREENSHOTTED THIS PAGE.

at least 1 gig of RAM, a 128 mb grahpics card, and a 2.0Ghz or greater CPU and u can run ps fine and have a tiny bit of lag.

I would recommend flat-out buying a new computer. I've been looking around and if you want one that's cheap and will work, I'd go for the Dell 4600, simply becasue you can get a 3.0 Ghz proc with 1 gig ram and a 128 card for around $1000. Just what I would do, anyways.

To bad you have to by a car Cryptica

But ya you need to get anohter computer, you need atleast 512 ram to play and enjoy it and 1 gig to play and make it look good.

so if i get 1GB im fine ? how mush does 1 cost

[gonnagetyou]

Search around. I was recently able to buy 2 sticks of 512mb Ram at Circuit City on sale for $80 each. Unfortunately my motherboard only accepts up to 512mb. So I'm only able to use one of them until I upgrade the motherboard. 512mb of ram makes the game playable with low video settings. You still get some lag or stutter in large fights, but who doesn't.

I have: 512mb ram, 1mhz P3, 32mb Nividia, Windows ME and a good broadband connection. I have no problems playing.

do u have to get the store u buy them from to install them of can u do have to do it cause i dont know how?

[gonnagetyou]

No you can do it yourself. Just open up your machine. release the tabs holding in your old stick of ram and put in the new one. Pretty darn easy. I'm a idiot when it comes to computers and I did it no problem. It's almost self explanatory when you look at it.

[gonnagetyou]

BTW. You should first look at the RAM already installed on your machine and get the same type. There's a white lable on the side usually that tells you what it is. I origionally had 2 sticks of PC133 128mb. I now just have 1 stick of PC133 512mb. If you can also find out how much RAM your motherboard will support before you buy. I didn't do that and I baught too much. Oh well, live and learn.
