D&D Online

[Nathal]

Does anybody know what the minimum requirements are for the new Dungeons and Dragons Online game are going to be? I have a PIII 800 with a GForce 4 64 MEG, and I'm worried it won't be enough.

Or is it too early? I've checked their FAQS and came up with nothing.

I believe they said they will have low and high res settings available, but your setup appears to be a very years old. Are you able tp play Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 (even on the low settings) with it? For now just bumping up your graphics card to a 128 Meg video card would help, though a 256 Meg would be better and you could transfer it when you are able to buy a machine with a faster processor. More RAM would also help, though don't buy any for that old machine, save up for a new motherboard and processor.

You have about the minimum requirements for World of Warcraft.
I would guess you will be able to run D&D Online, but not very well. I'd wait for it to come out, saving in the meantime. Then upgrade as needed. (Would start with the processor /motherboard/ ram in your case.)

Edit:
Here's a good article showing the scaling of performance with current processors and video cards with WoW for reference. Check this out before you go shopping.

(You'll notice the Geforce 4 is still listed on the chart (more as reference), but there are no P3's listed.)

A tolerance for Eberron?

Chances are you're going to have a hard time running it. Those specs are from a very low-end system and there are more and more games coming out that are requiring 1 Ghz processors or better. It may be possible for you to run it, but it may be too much trouble to even try.
