New Player - Will my comp. Handle at max settings ?

[Monk22]

Hello guys I'm gonna start FF XI for fun ( after 2 years of hardcore Wow - Lvl 70 druid full tier 4 + lvl 70 lock full gladiator) because I played every other FF and I thought to myself, hey why not try the online FF.

My question is not concerning the fact that I can run the game or not, it's more if I can enjoy the full graphic power without lag. Here are my specs and thanks for your time reviewing it :

Inspiron 8600
1.80Ghz
768 Mo RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 PRO TURBO

and if I can't play at max settings, what are the settings most suitable ?

Thanks

You should try the benchmark tool at PlayOnline. That'll be a better judge than any of us here.

You can play FFXI with those specs, but you won't be setting any performance/graphics records.

Thanks !

I'm downloading the program as we speak.

I'll gladly hang out with you on the server Hades.

I have a lot of time and will show you around and what not.

I scored 3200 at the benchmark and it seemed to run smoothly ( at " high " setting ).

I hope I can enjoy at least some 1680 x 1050 settings =P

It's gonna be funny playing this after FF XII

And thanks for the offer man but I thought you couldnt choose the server ?

Is there a way I can contact you so that you can answer my ingame questions ( and I'm sure there will be a bunch at first ) ?

It's fun to be a nub again after 2 years of being L33T in WoW

you definitely won't be able to run at max settings, but it should work alright.

You can choose the server.

You can just add me once you get POL up.

As the almighty Feba said, you can choose servers now.

I got 2000 on the benchmark, yikes x.x
