Oh and also, the specs you listed indeed are the min requirements. Minimum to get the game running. You can't play with that.

If i5 2400 + IGP isn't too far from E7500 + 9500GT, it should provide a similar experience. You can overclock an E7500 fairly well to bring it closer too. | ||

Also just texted my friend and he replied: I play on mostly low but some medium. No shadows. At 1920x1080. Frames drop a bit in busy spots but its ok. Maybe just need to drop res. i5 2500 Of course, an i5 2500k much more beastly and the i5 2500 even than the E7500. But I don't think SWTOR is as CPU intensive as SC2. It looks to be somewhat, but an E7500, if not an overclocked one, should be ok. But I guess it depends on what you consider to be acceptable to you. 45-50 FPS on League of Legends is completely unacceptable to me. | ||

Memory 512 MB Core Speed 550 MHz Shader Speed 1400 MHz Memory Speed 800 MHz Unified Shaders 32 Texture Mapping Units 16 Render Output Units 8 This still isn't something I'd play the game with. And seeing as your friend is using integrated graphics maybe he doesn't notice the frame difference and thinks 15 fps is acceptable, my younger sister does at least. Either way to me a constant 60 fps is quite necessary and yeah it's pretty annoying if I'd drop to a slideshow every time I enter a town in a mmorpg | ||

my graphics card is 512 as well... so if your running a 256 i highly doubt it. Also i know that my gfx card on my laptop is the one bottlenecking the whole game, but i would say that more than likely the same thing would happen to yoou, ESPECIALLY because you only have 2 gigs of ram as well. That being said i have 2 desktops that run the game very smooth. 1 is an i7 2700k with 8 gigs of ram and an HD 6950 and 120 gig SSD and an H60 for liquid cooling. The other is a couple years older and is running q6700 quad core proccesor at 2.67 ghz, with a gtx 260 and a 4 gigs of ram , it runs the game on medium to high settings as well. Honestly this game doesnt require much but your system seems to have alot of parts that are 5+ years old, your computer is at the end of its lifetime, i would suggest buying 4 gigs of ram (it will cost you like 30 bucks) and a 100 dollar graphics card. Your looking at maybe 150 dollars and you will beable to play alot of games at reasonable settings again and most importantly you will beable to play SW TOR. I havent had this much fun in a MMO ever, invest in your computer so you can experience the gaame properly, even if it does run, it wont run very well. | ||

Man i dont understand, im retty sure that a geforce 310m is better than Intel intergrated 3000, and my game does not run that well on my laptop.... Maybe i should consider reformatting my laptop or something....... My laptop had 4 gigs of ram and a i7 q(something... it runs at 2.87 per core) | ||

I just had another friend tell me they're playing on an E6400 + 9600GT. Maybe they're just noobs and can't tellt he difference. I don't know. But that video showing Intel HD 3000 looks ok to me. | ||

That website is absolutely terrible. It looks at your graphics card's memory, and pretty much nothing else. It also says Intel HD 3000 is worse than every dedicated graphics ever because it thinks it has no memory. On January 01 2012 05:35 Shikyo wrote: meeting the minimum requirements means that it starts without error message... So those aren't really too useful That's a bit of an exaggeration. Certainly, there are games where it's like that, but I can also start up most recent games without crashing using a Pentium IV with integrated graphics. Minimum requirements are easily playable unless there are additional circumstances (i.e., situations with different game modes, multiple people, etc.). At the very least, recommended requirements aren't the minimum to play; they're usually what you need to get solid framerates on Medium-High settings. It takes more than looking at a list to see if you can play a game. | ||

ALSO!!! they are coming out with a fix for the graphics, the graphics settings apparently arent working properly at the moment which is why you notice little to no difference between low settings and high. When i reformatted my computer i noticed this, all my settings went to default low (not because of my computer , im running an i7 2700k, 8 gigs of ram, hd 6950) but i hadnt noticed because the game looked well.... the same as it always did. Although it looked slightly better when i changed the settings to high the difference wasnt that noticeable. http://www.neoseeker.com/news/18071-bioware-currently-testing-fix-for-old-republic-low-graphics/ | ||

I have i5, 8gb ram, 7200rpm HD and 5770 1gb and it doesn't run smooth at all. During christmas I've been playing on my dads 2gb ram, dual core 5400rpm HD with some old Nvidia card(it's as old as the rest of the specs), and it runs smooth as hell. (except on Taris, but that was a bug that is fixed now) | ||
