256mb video card

 

2gigs of ram

 

3ghz duo-core processor.

 

 

 

 

 

I should be ok.

 

 

 

rofl the same as mine :D

 

 

 

then again i'm getting new labtop:

 

4gigabyte ram

 

1,93 duo-core

 

512mb geforce.(up to 1264mb split ram)

 

\:D/

 

What kind of 512mb gefore? Like 8800GT, 8600, etc, and exactly what kind of processor?

 

 

 

I just built a computer (not a laptop, so kinda different I guess) that saved me a ton vs buying retail

 

Don't try to build a laptop unless you want a very frustrating experience. Laptops use more specialized parts which computer manufactures can get in bulk much more cheaply then you. Desktops, I agree, are good to build, but leave the laptops to the big name brands unless you really want a learning "experience". As for his, I would assume the usual Intel Duo core (Probably T72500, just a guess though) and probably a 8600 GT with DDR2 memory. Could be a couple of different ones in the 8X00 line though.

True, but even if they had, a macbook can't have it's graphics card upgraded. So hopefully my computer will end up automatically "borrowing" from the main RAM to supplement the VRAM if it comes down to that.

 

I know, I was referring to others saying they were purchasing new hardware. No good chances on speculating what the high detail mode will really require, I'm just trying to give advice based on the example they gave and other games with similar requirements.

well because there no XP guide i went off my original knowledge:

 

2.4Ghz (for a 6year old computer i was shocked)

 

768Mb of RAM

 

and a Raidon 9200 Graphics card.

 

 

 

motherboards old but its running CoD2 fine for now. :pray:

 

 

 

oh Lepp, i'd highly advise getting a better graphics for gaming purposes. onboard intel graphics cards are the worst thing i have ever used. i then managed to overpower imy Intel Extreme 1000 card and blow it up. =D> now im running a raidon 9200.

 

 

 

i know mine isnt some macho system but my new laptop im ordering will [cabbage] all over this junk box im using at the moment. \'

 

2.4 Ghz then were far, far away from now... My 5 year old desktop had a 2.4, and even then you could get over 3.0. Raidon 9200 is OK, should have no problems with this. :)

Alright. Thanks for all the advice. :mrgreen:

Thanks very much for the advice though. :D

 

 

 

I nervous :ohnoes: ... But since my computer has been able to run other games with more detailed graphics, such as those in that game Minions of Mirth, I have a feeling that the requirements given by Jagex are the ideal ones, but not actually necessary.

 

 

 

We'll see. This thing has served me well.

Yes, but I'm assuming that that's for the 800X600 one. At, say, 1920X1200, your needing over 6 times the graphics horsepower. Throw in anti-aliasing, and you might need to upgrade your graphics to play runescape (Sounds like an oxymoron to me...)

Ouch, was a little off with my guesstimates. That 1.93 instead of 1.83 threw me, there's no model like that at 1.93 so I rounded up #-o

 

Anyway, I'd just forget about upgrading the CPU and enjoy your computer. Its more hassle and cost then its worth, and the difference between processors in the same series is smaller then you might think.

I'm above the requirements by 7/1 on average? :-#

 

 

 

Lol, new graphics for the win. :twisted:

 

1.2 GHz

 

248MB RAM

 

8.0MB Memory

 

What the heck do you even do...? My old computer was pretty much similar, and everything was too much of a hassle to load, but FireFox was pretty good for browsing.

Can computers suck this much these days?

 

No, they can't. How could that thing still run? :ohnoes:

Help, I'm being spammed by "mr. noreply"!

 

50something posts by me in this thread in a few hours, people sure are desperate to see if they can run it. Ah well, I like giving computer advice (Hence my job).

Here we go again, you may or may not be able to run it. Wait until Jagex releases some more details, or a few weeks until the update itself comes out...

Intel Pentium 4 HT 3 Ghz

No problems there, but the DX version doesn't matter. Jagex is using JOGL instead of DirectX. \'

CPU: Intel core 2 duo 2.2ghz (e4500), clocked to 2.7ghz when needed (Supreme Commander for example) (damn stock fan, should buy a new one).

 

RAM: 2gb ddr2, 667.

 

Video card: Nvidia 8600GT stock for the most time, 100mhz overclock when needed (core/memory).

 

 

 

ATI is another video card manufacturer, just like Nvidia.

 

I'm getting an ATI 4850 in autumn =)

 

 

 

P.S - Let's see how it'll run on integrated gfx, maybe some higer-end intergrated will run it smoothly.

I won't meet the requirements. My computer is too old. :(

 

 

 

I only have a 1.33 Ghz processor with 256 MB of RAM and my graphics card is not even good enough. I'm sad. :cry:

 

 

 

Get a new 24" iMac^^

 

(or get me a new 24" iMac!)

Well thanks anyways, I think I should get a new laptop. I just dont think this laptop is up to par and if it cant run runescape then that is just horrible.

Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color]
