is that good enough??? for ps right now im in line for ps trial and im making sure if its worth it

You'll need more ram and a better video card. Save your money on the hard ware, and play a free game for a few months. Then if the games still around, you'll get all the "exclusive" content we've been paying for all at once.

I have the geforce4 64mb and a 2.2Ghz P4 and it works fine tho i do have 512 memory....i have played it with 256 and let me tell ya...it lags really bad.. Even when there's not a large battle going on..Ive been in a base with maybe 20 or 30 ppl and it still lags so....get at least 512 RAM

Getting the extra RAM would be worth it.

Depends on what kind you buy, post something in the tech forum about it.

reaver101 · 2003-07-21, 06:27 PM

Yup. Not to mention that another 256 meg will cost you less than the game (one gig would be better but is far from essential). You really need at least 512 meg for gaming these days anyway, so you might as well upgrade now.
