As other mentioned GeForce cards are IMO also most bang for the bucks.
Ive not upgraded in a while:
Processor: Athlon 600MHz
RAM: PC133 256Mb SDRAM
Sound: Soundblaster live (First version on the market)
Graphics: ASUS 6800 (GeForce 1 with 32MB DDR RAM)
Network: 10Mbit LAN to a ADSL 256kb/sec
Only annoying problem I have is loading time from server select screen to
character select *shrug*...
I zone reasonbly fast when ingame, compared to others. But just to try and
get my zoning to go faster I recently expanded my RAM to 256 (from 128) but
did not notice any improvement on anything. Well I kinda expected that, but
SDRAM is so cheap these days that I just had to try.
I figure that my HD is due for an upgrade next(got a lousy UDMA33 4GB disk).
As to video lag I do not have any. My GeForce performs flawlessly at
1024x768 only times I note a slight slowdown is when ALOT casting is going
on.
