-Speed

 

 

 

-Graphics

 

 

 

-Affordability

 

 

 

-And i dont really want a laptop

Ok then your best looking at these uk sites...

well i looked on them and ended up with a descent laptop as planned but they do have some good pc's

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i wouldnt recomend a mac tho...because they are the more exspensive[/url]

Mac's are more expensive. Less bang for the buck IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well I saw like $400-500 desktops after rebates. Good enough for rs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't need a dual-core processor unless you are going to run another strenuous task along with runescape.

 

 

 

I prefer an Athlon processor, on runescape, processor speed seems to not really matter much, so I think a 2 GHZ or higher is good enough.

 

 

 

Then you have the RAM, you can play on 256MB if you only run rs, but I suggest 512 just in case.

 

 

 

Hard drive can also be low, if you don't plan on uploading/downloading much, a 60 GB or 40GB may be enough.

 

 

 

The graphics card is also not really needed. A 64MB int graphics definitely works, but it sucks, you can probably go down to 32.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given minimum:

 

 

 

2GHZ, single processor with no multi-tasking tech

 

 

 

256 MB RAM

 

 

 

40GB HD

 

 

 

16-32 graphics (dunno about speed)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This and probably some other features will cost maybe $300 after rebates if you know where to shop. Half the price of the PS3 lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Missed a bunch of other stuff I think but w/e.
