Now, this is going to be a very odd question to put on this forum. But I thought that it would fit nicely, seeing as it has to do a lot with Dark age of camelot. I'm working to buy myself a fairly cheap but fairly good computer. I just wanted to know if there were any suggestions as to what computer to buy, and if it would be better to buy a computer with an ok graphics card then buy a better card. Again, this is an odd question but I hope i'll get some feed back.

It really depends on you. Do you want speed or just something to play games with? Do you want it to be able to run other things too? Factor in EVERYTHING you want out of your new PC and then come back. Then we can talk business

Dont underestimate the importance of the Video card. Im playing on a system that doesnt meet spec in any way except for my new video card.

Before the card I could not take part in battles that had more than 20 other players. Now the lag in 100+ player battles is bearable and I can still fight.

Im upgrading the rest of my comp soon but Im soooo glad I stumbled on a free video card first.

I agree, a good vid card will take you far. Also ram will help. More than 256 preferrably. This way if you have a slower processor, you will have a large area to store the bits of info, and make it easier to grab and shuffle.
