 Hello finally getting a chance to build a new system. Will this run eq2 on  top settings? Any advice would be great. <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"><a href="http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4952081" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Asus CROSSHAIR NVIDIA® nForce™ 590 SLI™</a> </span> <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"> <a href="http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5191496" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 6000+</a> </span> <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"> <a href="http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4991611" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Antec Nine Hundred Mid Tower Case</a> </span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"><a href="http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5220687" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 DUAL CHANNEL KIT/ (2X2GB) / OCZ </a> </span> <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"> <a href="http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4551377" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Maxtor 500GB Serial ATA/300 16MB Buffer</a> </span> <span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial"> <a href="http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5115146" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">BFG GeForce® 8800 GTX OC 768MB PCI Express®</a>  there a lot of other little stuff but thats the core of the system would be running windows xp pro SP2 for the OS.  Is the 4gd of ddr2 ram way over kill? same goes the 6000+ amd cpu. overkill? wanting to shoot for some thing that will play on best settings under raid conditions.  thanks in advance Wolfe </span>

depends on the size of the raid force. obviously the more there are, the less performance you will get at best settings. that said, that should work well for 2-4 group raids at best settings, especially if you turn off shadows, and turn down some of the spell effects when raiding. now that you can make custom settings and save them in the options window, you can save the current best settings as its own preset, and then change them for the raid and save them to its own preset, and switch between the 2 when you raid and when you play normally.
