Will this run guild wars? I wanna know if it can run on high settings and what fps i would get in all the areas.

Video Card:
Visiontek Radeon X1550 / 256MB DDR2

CPU:
Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.2Ghz

Memory:
1Gigabyte of memory

PSU:
300W Power Supply



What you think? Do i need a better video card? I want to have atleast 50-80 fps on high settings but an AGP video card only( i haven't upgraded to a better mobo yet). I can spend only $120 so recommend something to me.

it's not too bad, but don't expect super performance. it depends on the graphic settings and resolution, but i'd say 30-45 fps can be expected at 1280x1024.

There's a 120$ AGP Video card that could probably run on the settings you desire.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161237 I bet this one would run it on max with 60~ fps too.

I'm not sure about that X1550 but I do doubt it's going to get 60-80FPS on max settings, one of the above might though.

And for the lulz! The best AGP card in Existence! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161226

You ask what FPS you can expect, but you give no indication of what resolution you intend to play at (and/or what the rez of your monitor is). That x1550 should work well at lower rez - such as 1024x768 - but it will also depend upon the level of graphics goodies you want to have.
Power (for a better card) could be a problem with only a 300watt power supply.

I'm more worried about the 100 milli-bits/sec internet

I'd get at least one more gig of RAM (memory), speeds things up. Only costs about $40 to get an extra gig at Best Buy.
