Power Supply

Hey is this power supply good for my computer: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Power/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=A1311638

Complete BS. It's an MMO, so it has to be able to run on computers with lower-end video card, since that market segment is the largest in the world. Why would they want everyone to get Core 2 Duos and 8800GTs? That is, unless they were in bed with NVIDIA and Intel... A dubious arrangement IMO.
As for you liljosh74, you'd be fine with 1GB of RAM. Regarding the video card, the FX5200 or the FX5500 is a great choice and will run that game (and many others) just fine on low-medium detail settings. If you're able to find one that has a 128-bit wide bus, like this one, it'd be best, but a 64-bit one would be okay as well if you are tight on cash. I don't know what part of the world you're in, so I can't make specific recommendations. But you will not need a new PSU for either the FX5200 or FX5500. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
P.S. - Screw the formal tone. For all I know, you might just be older than me!

I'll tell you why.

This is because if you advise someone walking in the door to your shop, and they own a standard computer (no PCI-E and no AGP) low CPU ~ 2.4Ghz and low Ram and low power supply rating.
And they say they want to play games, then instead of updating their old computer, it would be wiser to update the entire computer to a gaming computer.
Why again?
Because if the customer actually goes out and purchases new ram and a PCI video card and their computer stops working a couple of weeks later (ie M/b and CPU) then who's fault is it? I would say the person who originally advised them!

Lets be clear about this, a gaming computer should not meet just one game specs that a customer will be bored of one day anyway. And should be way above ~2.4Ghz.

So not exactly complete BS

I was talking about the game's developers. So it is in fact complete BS. World of Warcraft is a case in point. Blizzard has made sure it can run on almost any computer in the world.

Ty

well thx for telling me wht i need to do, so ill see how it goes and ill tell u guys if it works or not. But i like Rages idea better because i dnt have to buy a PSU now.
ohh btw rage im only 16 :haha:

I've got to tell you something Rage_3K_Moiz, I don't even understand that thread (that seems to be being viewed all over the world)
Something strange is happening with the minds of computer users.

50% of the computers I still see in the world (comming in for service) are so old, that no one in their right mind would say it's a gaming computer.

It seems every teenager out there has at least a gig of ram, and running 3Ghz min CPU's, when in reality, most of the standard home users (adults!) seem to be using half that!

I wouldn't advise anyone with low end computers to play games. It's basically crazy, and will hurt a tech forum to suggest it.

I might be the only one who feels this way. But then again I do actually see the computers first hand.

Hey

Hey, are u saying that i should not play games because of my computers current condition???

I can't get myself to advise anyone to be confident to play games on a non gaming specs computer.
Nor would any computer tech/sales company sell a computer with your exact specs, and say, yep that'll play all your PC games.
Yes possibly low end games, but again that is not a gaming computer.

By the way low end games has not been defined well, I believe
Low end usually means very small low video games

Not every game will work. You asked if a particular game would work and I said yes, provided you buy the aforementioned hardware. For other games like UT3 & Crysis, they might not even install properly and even if they do, won't run properly, if at all. Every game has different requirements so if you're looking to play only that MMO you asked about, it will work fine. For other games, you'd need to ask around some more and be prepared to spend more cash, depending on what kind of games you're looking to play. Anything that's released in the past year or two will require a new computer though, barring some exceptions like Sam & Max and others.

Thank-you Rage_3K_Moiz,
That is the best answer
I fully agree

And that would be the reason I said to contact him.

Wait a min, can you tell me what video card you are using?
Also, did you plug in the monitor adapter to the Graphic card from the tower?

reminds me of when i tried to overclock my cpu
