Everquest II

Wanting to start playing EQ2 again. Last time I tried it, it loaded fairly quickly but the movement so very choppy, and typing was near impossible, as when I typed letters got missed out.

Computer I have is a Dell Dimension 3100, which comes with onboard graphics (I suppose thats why it ran shit last time). Dunno what card to get now. Anyone recommend? Not on a very high budget, nothing about 50.

Think of it this way, I use a Radeon 9600 Pro, and I run the game just fine. So really you can't go wrong, even with a $80 budget lol.

I run it on high settings just fine with a Geforce 7600 GT.

I run it pretty damn good on my agp -x1650 and thats was just 75bucks

My PC apparently has a "PCI-e" graphics card slot, so yeah. Also am from UK so I reckon stuff will be more expensive :P

Use a e-GeForce8600+ they run pretty nice on it...

That'll run it fine? Can I return something like this if it doesn't work (like it wont fit for whatever reason, still runs EQ2 not well) ?

I heard that you cant return computer related products once they have been used once.

Yeah, that'll work great for EQ2 but if you want less lag I'd recommend 512mb but not a HUGE difference, it'll work just great.

Ok, thanks!

So do you know if stuff like this is returnable? Would hate for monies to possibly go to waste if something goes wrong.

Umm...I think it's returnable, but I'd look at the pc requirments to see if it'll work, if it will then you don't need to worry but if you do have the requirments and it dosen't work return it, just make sure you don't try too hard on putting it in, the lightest LIGHTEST scratch could cause massive problems. Also I'd look at some guides on finding how to put it in. GL with your card. Also if it dosent and they cant return it I'd keep it and sell it probably on ebay for about 10$ more hehe you'll get some deals. But it really depends on if the store will return them, I'd call them and ask them or look for some disclaimers...
