I don't have FFXI but I plan on getting it, and I need to upgrade my computer's graphics card in order to run the game properly. I was looking at the NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 128MB PCI DUAL VGA & TV, one of the few cards compatible with my system because I have no AGP slots. Will this graphics card be sufficient enough to run FFXI decently and to up the resolutions as stated in this thread: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/sho...threadid=23439 ?? Also, will the game run decently with 128 MB of RAM and an 860 MHz Pentium III processor? I plan on updating RAM and processor speed later I am just wondering how the game will perform with the graphics card and my computer's basic specs initially. Please, if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated!

Mebbe u should buy a new comp
Cuz a new vid card will only help so much, you would have the biggest gain by increasing the memory & type of memory in addition to a video card and processor, but at this point you would be better off building one (or buying if you dont know how to build) w/ a faster AGP slot & and one thats capable of using faster memory.

Its kinda tough for me to purchase a whole new system, especially one that I would be customizing (they seem to run over $1k and thats definately difficult for me to manage) so the best thing I can do is upgrade the system I have now. Will the graphics card I found work good enough to run the game at least? And is there any way to get an AGP slot for my system? I'm a little newbish when it comes to hardware. I would think that an upgraded system would work well enough... Or not?

it might run, but it will be- low graphics settings that will ruin gameplay
- choppy graphics to make you think you are playing counter-strike in 600 ping
- just plain ruin the experience

I see. Thanks for informing me of this before I purchased stuff that really wouldnt have helped... It looks like im going to find a way to get a new computer or just wait for the PS2 version... hopefully I'll be able to get either and play the game... hopefully...
