Worth a shot.
If you dont have 2G+ mem and a nice graphix card, most likely will.

Agreed, except that the size on the harddrive has nothing to do with how hard the computer has to work to run it.
I can make <1mb program that will ruin your comp, and a 1 TB that will do nothing.

I just built my computer with these specs.......


Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
2GB GSkill DDR2 SDRAM 800
ASUS P5N-E Mobo
GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GPU
Windows Vista Ultimate

And I can run WoW and Guild Wars at the same time. But Im still having problems trying to run Silkroad on this thing, it seems like I'm missing a driver or something cuz I cant run Silkroad on this computer, it just closes after I click start after GameGuard Loads.

I'm 99% sure its my theme.. Why do I say that? Cuz my theme has "aeroglass" effect in XP.. I know it effects silkroad a lot.. cuz if I hit windows key and open up my browser.. boom, lag city :(

windows classic here, plain and simple
no freakass theme can beat this :p
all it does is lagging your pc to death and increasing loading times for everything
no thanks!
