Alright, so, basically, I just bought the Vana'diel collection 2007. I've been wanting to play this game since like... forever, so I'm very psyched to actually own it. Unfortunately, I am painfully aware of my home computer's miserable shortcomings, and I know that bothering to install it and actually play it on my system would be a colossal waste of time and effort. It's not like my computer is super-old, but it's a pretty basic Dell computer that my whole family uses, and I frankly don't think that this crappy little computer can handle it. Plus, the graphics card sucks.
I'm not some super-techie smart computer genius... I basically have no clue what to look for in a system. I looked at the system requirements on the back of the packaging, and I understood that I need windows XP, and the rest may as well have been in greek. Seriously, please don't get into the technical crap... I need a brand name, I need a model type... a link to a website where I can purchase. I do not know how, nor do I have a particular desire to "build" my own computer... If that's the only option, I'm not going to know what I'm doing... If it's just a good computer model and I have to get a seperate graphics card, that's fine... I just need... something.
Sorry, I'm rambling... I'll try to get to the point... I've just been on like... every computer website in the world trying to make sense of this crap....
So, I'm just curious as to what brand and model computers others find to run the game well. I'd prefer not to drop like $4000 ( looked at some "recommended for gaming" Dell models, and good lord, I work a part-time job, I can't afford anything like that) because I'm poor and just... no... but I don't want to have bought this game for no reason... I need something relatively affordable. It doesn't need to be like "OMG, TEH MOST AMAZING GAEMING MACHINEZ, EVAR!!!!!111111oneoneone" but still something good. I'd really prefer if someone could reccomend a laptop or something, because a full-sized computer is NOT going to fit in my room.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.
Also, I'm honestly sorry if someone else has asked something like this... I filtered through as much of the forum content as I could, but I didn't find anything except what I percieve as "techie" talk and I didn't see any questions that specifically adressed this problem.
