What's the bare minimum to run EverQuest flawlessly?

Pretty sure in '99 I was sporting a pentium 3 133mhz. Should do fine with EQ.

I've installed the game on about 7 laptops... all of them built within the last two years and failed on 3 of them, each of those three laptops said "No 3D hardware detected" if I remember right.. I thought this meant a laptop has to have a dedicated 3D card (no matter how primitive) for EQ to work with Titanium. Am I mistaken?

I have EQ running on my laptop with crappy integrated Intel graphics. Everything has to be turned way down, but at low settings it does run flawlessly. Everything set to low, shadows off, but all clip planes still at farthest so you can see stuff. Resolution 1280x800

Some specs on my laptop: U7600 processor @ 1.2GHz, Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics (up to 384MB SHARED memory, 0 dedicated), 4GB RAM @ I think 667Mhz, running EQ off a 2GB SD card that came with my digital camera.

The cool thing is I can play for like 4 hours on battery.

Well i run on a dell from 2005, about 512 mb of ram and 2.40 ghz processor.

I lag.

I run it on an Acer Aspie 1. Intel Atom 1.66ghz 2Gb Ram, 256 Total video memory. I turn things down like spells/distance if needed, but it runs pretty decent.

I run it on an Samsung N130, Atom CPU, Intel onboard graphics, 1GB RAM.

I have disabled some spell effects but have the clip plane on max. At the native resolution, 1024x600, it runs just perfectly.

i use 2.4ghz athlon something, 2gb ram, 512mb vid card. PoS. old. fat

with shadows on @ 1600x900 unless there's a million ppl it runs fine

I ran it on my mom's netbook that is 2 years old....a net book. And by ran, it was pretty much perfect other than a small screen.

My Virtual Boy runs it perfectly, just strafing is a little difficult

Pretty much any desktop created in the past 6-8 years that has a video card of some sort (over 128mbvideo ram) and 1 gig or more Ram will run eq titanium like a champ in 95% of situations.

Laptops have a little more trouble on the higher end when they have integrated graphics. Still i bought a $250 Toshiba Satellite with a single core 2ghz processor 3gb ram and the crappiest integrated intel graphics ever and it still runs the game well. In certain zones (kunark trees i have to adjust the clipping plane some) but its still do-able.

The basic consensus is what everyone says. It does not take much to run this game. Desktops with actual video cards will fair better, but laptops with crap integrated graphics will do fine.

I did run OoW in a P3 667 mhz, with 15 min to zone over new expansions, but old ones zoned in 5 mins, so... =P
