Old puters work just fine. The only problem you have is that your video card
*MUST* be dx8 certified. Other than that even going as low as 128 megs will
work. There is not the slightest chance in hell you can install luclin on
that machine tho, cause it will die while trying to render the new graphics.
And you should really get more ram, it isnt that expensive. Ram and a nice
video card and everything works a lot smoother. CPU power isnt that
important.
512mb for $100 isnt steep. And your machine needs to be nicely configured.
For example if you run WinXP old world eq and me would be like 256 megs to
run ok but on 98 128 works ok and 160 is fine.
And dont be so negative, SoL is a whopping expansion worth the new specs.
Graphics are cool (some char models are a bit weird) but mobs/surrondings
are very nice. The mob features are a LOT improved adding more tactics to
fights.

I honestly don't know.
I am hoping (as do some of the GMs) that they will make it so that
non-Luclin users can still play without having to upgrade.
But for the time being, if your computer does not meet the minimum system
requirements that Verant listed, it will probably not work-- even people
who's computers *do* meet the minimum requirements are having problems right
now.
We'll just have to wait and see.
