Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E2160(1MB L2,1.80GHz,800 FSB)
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive(7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache®
and Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition

run with Guild Wars?I'm not sure because some of the things listed above are not mentioned in the requirements and I was just wondering.Also can anyone tell me how much RAM a Dell Inspiron 530s (Windows XP) has (all of the specs listed above are from my Dell Inspiron 530s),because I was looking up and it says it has 2GB/4GB max,but then I noticed that was for Microsoft Windows® Vista® so I'm not sure.

Thanks if you helped me!

Yep, that'll play it.

I don't know on the quality (should be much better than my 64mb graphics card), but you should be playing it pretty smooth. smile.gif

well it would be worth while to chuck in another DDR2-667mhz. There may be an issue with running two different types of memory especially with the timing perhaps match that timings too so you don't encounter instability.

With 2 DIMMS that dell could take one more stick so probably up to 2GB.

Another problem is integrated graphics, it will use up to 256(?)mb of your memory too, won't have a performance hitch in guild wars but a dedicated graphics solution would be better. Anyway - don't expect to turn up the eye candy, but these mmos run great on low spec computers so you should be good.

That should run it faster than I run Halo PC.

I don't really know what you are talking about but I'm guessing you think it could use a few tweaks.because we just bought and it is going to be shipped on April 4th and we don't really have much money to do some tweaks because we still have payed off about 4 grand for the tvs we bought.

I wanted to choose a better graphic card but operantly it was only available for Vista or Windows XP Dell XPS,which are 2 grand min.I want a really good comp obviously but its gonna cost like 7-10 grand,because I made everything the best it could be to perform fast smile.gif.


Thanks for your help anyways guys.I hope it works because it worked somehow on my laptop which is an Intel® Celeron M®.I don't know how it did but now it stopped working sad.gif and our old comp was back from 2004 so it crashed and it keeps turning off every 10 minutes or so so we had to get a new one smile.gif.I hated that computer.I wish I could take my hammer and smash it evil.gif .

Almost forgot,does anyone know if it has enough RAM?

It'll run it fine. My brother has half the computer performance you have posted and Guild Wars runs fine. You have enough RAM too. Good choice on XP. wink.gif

Thanks it was really my only good choice since I can customize it the way I want. Sadly its not only my computer or else I would play it like crazy.


Oh yeah I forgot,are you saying it has 512mb RAM +?
