    Guild War's minimum requirements are very low, it runs fine on my 4 year old computer, can't see why not it will run on that one

    Windows® XP/2000/ME/98
    Intel Pentium® III 1GHz or equivalent
    512 MB RAM

    ATI Radeon 9000 or GeForce 4 Ti Series Video Card with 64MB of VRAM

    Those are the guild wars requirements, does anyone know if the Dell XPS will run that smoothly?

    Dude, the XPS will run that in maximum settings, and you can load Photoshop, FLASH MX and encode videos at the same time without any lag!


    Ok, maybe some exaggeration, but the XPS is a beast!
