November 10, 200520 yr i have an old gateway i'm trying to play on it has like a 600mhz processor, 64 ram and like a 10gb hd. I can load all the way up to the play screen but when it loads the game scene all i can see is my inventory stuff and it says loading please wait and never does. I'm not sure if the hard drive even matters on online games. Is it just more ram i need? any advice appreciated and no i cant buy a new computer cause i'm broke@!

November 10, 200520 yr Personally, I would upgrade RAM. Get a 256mb stick and slap it in there. Your CPU could also use some upgrading, but if that's not possible, the extra RAM might help Runescape run a little smoother.
November 10, 200520 yr Runescape says you need something like a 300mhz processor and 64MB RAM to play the low-detail version, but that is not true*. I had a 500Mhz Celeron and 64MB RAM; it would not play at all. I put in a stick of 128 (total 192), and I could play both the high and low detail versions, so that is what you should upgrade. *It's been a long time since this incident, so it is a little fuzzy to me. When RS2 was in beta testing, I got only a grey screen when trying to load the game, and for a brief moment, a line of text that ended in "mem=low" appeared on the bottom of the client. I suspected that the client detected how much memory I had, only found 63 because 1MB is dedicated to my integrated graphics, and wouldn't let me load the client. I sent in a query, didn't get a reply, but I think they did fix it (here is the part I am fuzzy on, I am not sure if that was actually the problem, and if they fixed it or not). You have integrated graphics, so if that is the problem, getting any ammount more of RAM should do the trick. If not, I still bet it's the RAM, so get as good as your motherboard can handle (my mobo had two slots, one with 64 in it, and the other with a maximum allowed of 128)
November 10, 200520 yr Author Souunds good that is what i was hoping i could do. used computer store told me he'd sell me one for 20$ is that good
November 11, 200520 yr check your java and also make sure that the site is not a lookalike of rs to scam people from their acounts Be careful on what RAM you get, though... I think your computer will be using SDR, not DDR. But yeah, personally; RAM would be the most efficient upgrade for you. //Mitch New sig to come!
