Sorry, but I think I'll win this one! (This is from memory, 'cause I forgot

Video Resolution: 640x480

bright sunny day outdoors, then look down while fighting

How many songs can you twist? 3, if there's no lag, no missed notes, no "You
haven't recovered yet" messages, I don't get stunned, and I'm looking
straight down.
Do you slow down when it rains? haven't noticed
How about in Unrest or Kunark? L a a a g gg ! !!!
Playable with my shadow knight, but it would be suicide to bring my bard
there.

Two other tell tale signs you need to upgrade your PC:
1. You can't keep up with people with SoW
2. Zoning takes, on average, 1 minute and 40 seconds
