I'm just wondering, on the official site it says the minimum and like proper requirements.

what do you need to have every thing on very high detail though..
I think I have more than enough.. but I'd still like to know.

comp specs:
Pentium 4 @ 3.01 Ghz.
512 MB RAM (bit low me knows)
800 Mhz FSB
256 MB Radeon 9600 XT-4

internet connection: DSL

go to your log in screen hit options at the lower right
click on advanced click on auto detect click ok go back to login screen and see how far to the right the slider is towards maximum QUALITY

On guildwars.com it shows the recommended requirements, doesn't really say if that's needed for the highest detail.

I never played any beta's doubt I can download them now, but I will do this once I buy the game.

You should be able to crank up every setting to max and experience zero performance reduction. I have everything maxed out at the top level quality and it runs smooth as butter.

AMD Sempron 3100+ (1.8ghz OC'd to 2.6ghz)
512mb PC3200
Radeon 9500PRO 120mb

You should be able to crank it up. I'd get more ram if you can but I serously doubt that will impede you, and if it did you wouldn't even notice.

Yeah I don't have the money to buy new RAM, since im buying Guildwars and saving for a holiday lol.

but I should be able to put it on max that is nice
though if neone could find out the minimum specs for max settings it would be nice

Why not Overclock your P4? A 3Ghz P4 should ovberclock at least 600Mhz. Thats your best bang for the buck.

and if you fry it you are just out of luck
the FPS gain is minimal at best and not worth it in my opinion

If you're gonna overclock nowadays you need a lot of cooling, and I still need to get a new case, this one is a tad small and gets warm pretty easily, so I'm defenitly not gonna do that.

You're probably fine. My setup:

AthlonXP 3200+
1024MB PC3200 DDR
Radeon 9600XT 256MB

I can run it at full quality all day and it never so much as blinks. Haven't bothered to check the framerates recently, but back in the E3 for Everyone alpha where it actually displayed them in the upper right corner, I'd commonly get 40-70fps.
