Welp, I've reconfigured my system and now able to play the game on "Extreme Quality". The game *can* be played on "Extreme Quality" when you have the correct hardware. Even when i'm in a group of 6 with all the magic, I receive very little stuttering. And it looks beautiful with the elaborate texturing and lighting (the small stuff is what counts). I am just using the 333mhz version of the XP3000+ and the ATI X800 XT Platinum Edition (PE) AGP card. Card was roughly $400. And i haven't experienced any performance drops, yet. ATI a month or so ago (around the beginning of january) released their X850 XT PE PCI Express card and not to forget the DDR2 RAM and the XP3200+. If you have enough RAM, a RAID won't help you for EQ2. A system consisting of the X850, AmdXP, and RAM mentioned previously would process the EQ2 engine with no problem. I think SOE should've pushed the graphics engine even higher which would be orgasmic.I wished Tiberius would've pointed out some of the problems with Mechanics. I bet WoW have Mechanic problems also. Just give them time. SOE and Blizzard will polish their games up quite well because these games really still are "new".Kiasyd73, I understand.
