Edited by: Xander Deathstalker on 11/12/2007 16:14:56 Lol 9700 is many years out of date dude and well it may be able to run it... but then again it might not depending on your other pc specs, sorry to say, any pc from the last 2 years (discounting the ones which should have not been sold by then) will run it happily but the new update is not for old pc's its an update for now and in the future so that eve doesnt fall majorly out of date 5 years without a graphics engine update is why its released however trinity still adss many ships and other features and the classic client still works nicely for folks with more archaic pc's, there are teething problems and some lag issues, which need to be fixed, a 9700 is a nice graphics card tis true, but its also an old graphic card by now if your stuck on AGP get yourself a NVIDIA 7950 GT 512mb to bring yourself up to date, but blaming ccp because your pc is out of date just isnt fair and 3 years out of date in the games industry does not put folks with newer pc's into a minority , waiting longer for a graphics update would not have been fair on folks who do have pc's made in the last 2 years, well frankly most 3 year old pc's will run it... just not with stellar performance, you want shiny new graphics and your pc runs on mice in a treadwheel you'll need to upgrade to shiny new hardware, if not eve classic still works just fine :), ye cant get everything for nothing.
Ok a 9700 with 128mb ram ... nice but out of date by now, a 3.2Ghz Pentium.... uck... enough said on the processor I have a laptop with the same graphics but it has a 1.7 Ghz Centrino ... damn glad I picked that route, 2GB ram.... if ye really cant afford a new one have you considered a hard drive update, laptops released in that era often had slow hard drives, upgrading to a new 120GB hdd would be cheap and probably increase performance considerably in games with lots of loading, but ... 9700 with 128mb is about the bare minimum ye can run Trinity in i'd guess so ye really need a new one and its never going to be the ultimate performer, welcome to the pc industry, a nice pc is within a few years and old banger.
