    so i started to test out Anarchy Online again after my gaming break. I however having problems running it on the epic laptop in my signature. I get around 10-20 FPS on newbie island and as soon as i hit the big city i expect it to get worse.

    The FPS are almost the when i run all details on high and low. I gain maybe 2-3 FPS by going from high to low on all details and from goin to low to medium i dont loose anything so i play on medium settings.

    I use the 14.36.3 drivers and have no idea what to do. Keep in mind that this is a DX 7 game that rquries a Pentium 2 and like a 8 mb video card to work or something like that.

    I also tried it on my new desktop which is not in my sig yet. I got a 8800 GTX cheap with a E6600 cpu and on this machine i get the same horrible performnce
