Now, although I'm a bit of a hardware/tech geek myself, I'm not that experienced with what causes Horizons/Istaria to run well.
My boyfriend lacks a decent computer. His good one broke down, and what he has right now runs on 128mb of RAM and Windows 2000. (I know, poor guy).
He needs a new box, but we need something cheap - so, what would you all suggest as a BARE MINIMUM to be able to enjoy Istaria? I'm thinking of giving him something equivalent to my sucky machine, and of course it would be running XP professional.
I'm thinking about 1 GB of RAM, but any recommendations for a cheap video card/processor/motherboard that'd do the trick? I might just give him my spares when I upgrade. (But I'm sure he doesn't want a Celeron! XD)
On the flip side... we're also thinking maybe a laptop would be more convinient. So any suggestions there?
So... floor's open! Sooner we can get him an Istaria-capable PC, the sooner I can buy him a subscription and we'll have another Istarian.
