I have an AMD 4200 64 X2. It is "supposed" to be the equilalent of an INTEL 4.2 GHz processor (since INTEL is known for their overexagerations.
The specs are only 2.2 Ghz, but if you look at the number of the processor, that will give you lowdown on the Intel overexageration.

The info about the DM client isn't new BTW. Previous discussion here:

As a dial up user your worst fear shouldn't be having to download the DM client; rather, it should be that the listed minimum specification for online play is a broadband connection.Alexandru Stanicu wrote:I dont have the min requirements and dont have any cash to put into upgrading.
Also as a dial up user, I think having to D/L the DM client is the suck.
That is one of the great things about NWN1 -- it really uses so little bandwidth client side. 56k plays as well as 10 meg. pipe.
Thought thinks itself.

the graphics will only be as hawt as your system will allow. Try saving a few bucks when you can and maybe you can afford a video card upgrade by the time the game comes out.dougnoel wrote:I just bought a new computer a few months ago, and I just barely meet the reecommended specs. Those graphics better be as hawt as the screenshots imply.

I am sure we can download a copy and burn you a CD. Can't really help with the PC though.

Life is never as bad as you think it is, although that doesn't help at the time.

For the 2 bucks it will cost, I'll download and burn the DM client for anyone that really needs it (team especially). It's well worth it to get the next generation of Avlis started.

I'll probably buy it purely to play the next incarnation of Avlis PW so I can be a 1% and get all that pHat loot and l33t skillz. Unless the reivews on the game itself are less then favourable of course in terms of the game engines stability etc. As to the sys req? Not a problem my beast can handle everything I've thrown at it so far!!!
Although that is the beauty of NWN isn't it? The ability to be able to play a game with an old pc and a trusty 56k modem.
Funny thing is when I first played NWN I was disappointed they had moved away from the BG interface and gameplay perspective. Nevertheless after a few weeks playing I came to appreciate the graphics NWN engine.

Looking at upgrading to an AMD X2 4400+ system. Would this be wise, or should I go with and AM2 Mobo...
I only have about $1200 to spend

I think the best thing about NWN1 is how the overall design of the game made all this custom content and diverse range of shit possible.
NWN2 has already expaned on this, but making things stable and not just nice looking is a differant thing all together.
