Go to bestbuy or circuit city. Purchase card. Put in computer. Boot up. Stable when playing game? If yes, then your fine.  Dependent upon your build, you may not need a new power supply. If you do, you can just take the video card back to bestbuy or circuit city. Which is the great thing about buying in a brick and mortar store. Also, if you're the one paying the power bill, you'll want to get a power supply that has an energy efficieny rating of greater than 80%.  Keep a look out on www.slickdeals.com for cpu's and graphic cards.

A lot of people may tell you other things, but your best bet is a trial and error situation.

Looking to find some ages on when people started UO. I was in 7th grade at the time, which would make me roughly 13. How old were you?

To be completely honest, the reason a lot of time I think UO was so good was because it was.... 2d.

I've played a LOT of mmo's, and the only other one that REALLY got me involved hard core was Ragnarok Online. Maybe it's community? I don't really know, but I don't think it was so much the skill system in UO. Maybe the fast paced battles? PVP was like no other...hmmm. I just really can't pinpoint it. I would say it was the way the community came together to be honest. RO had something of the same, but I think that the majority of early UO players were an older than average group. Somewhere between 20-28 would be my guess.

I guess I'll have to make a poll in the UO forum. But I started playing in T2A which was 7th grade for me. And then I got all my friends addicted. Middle school was awesome.

Lineage was released in 1998 =/ Try again?

Find it hard that someone could just "forget" UO =/

Was the greatest gaming experience I ever had, and is still one I haven't been able to emulate. There was just something about the undead invasion in trinsic that truly made me love that game. Not to mention inter guild fighting, reds, emotes, hanging out at the bank, making a town yours, etc. Just so much about one game... damn, now my sheets are dirty =/

Also the fact that UO release september 25 1997, and the beta wouldn't have been much more than a few months before that.

Have you been cheezing?
