Processor should be fine m8 at or around medium,graphic card is the thing that will hold you back a bit,all in all you should run the game fine maybe just some tweaking.

Edit- grab yourself another 1gb+of Ram also.

your gfx card might be a problem, but the rest of the system should be able to run it. so if you are getting bad fps then upgrade you gfx card and it should improve a lot.

Damn I thought if anything it would be my processor that would gimp me, or that I'de need another GB or two of RAM.... I've used this Graphics card for VG/Oblivion/Lotro... several top of the line FPS games. I guess AoC truly is bringing requirements to a new level. Guess I'll give it a go and upgrade asap : /

8500 isn't a gaming card, and 8600, being a gaming card, runs the game on low settings, so yeah, you'll probably have some troubles running the game due to your vga, your processor should do fine, while there's no bottlenecking in your rig, your computer isn't prepared for games, if you could run others it's cause the requirements were way lower, or cause you are running at a real small resolution.

Should run it fine, mines a little bit higher end and runs max settings with 30-50fps. You could probably run at a good FPS with at least low-medium settings.

That comp will play the game fine. When I first got into closed beta I was using a single core 3.0, windows XP, 2gigs of ram, and the same exact video card as you. I had no problem playing. 25-45 FPS on medium settings.

 

Don't let the babies that don't like the game sour you to it.

Not sure what to say about this... I've been able to run everything thats out on the current market without any issues. I understand that AoC has higher reqs which is why I asked but I wouldn't say my setup isn't prepared for games when It runs everything with no probs, so far anyway.

and I run at 1440x900, which I personally don't consider a small res.

I couldn't agree more, I was also running nearly the exact same single core 3ghz system you describe when I first got into Gen Beta, and I had pretty much identical performance to your own. Though occassionally I would peak around 55 fps.

Medium settings on my end as well.
