Really, I've said it before, P3 and Athalon XP CPUs should be in museums, not inside your PC.

Will a Intel Celeron(P) 325 2.53 GHz run it?
Its for a friend and Ive spent about a half hour lookiung I cant even fint the Celeron P lol
You also have to realize not everyone has their mom buy their PCs for them. Some ppl have to work and save to afford them
http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/23/Intel_Celeron_D_325.htmlSo, yeah... it will work. |

Not really true with EVE, you could easily buy something second hand that would cost you double figures. And hell if you want to splash out well you're only talking about a couple of hundred minimum. I went through 3 complete computer upgrades while I was full time at college, working at a minimum wage part time store job. Originally by: Borun Tal

I still have my AthlonXP machine here, it's kinda funny to see remarks like 'decades old' when it was fully capable of running Call of Duty 2, Half Life 2, FEAR etc  Oh and by the way, for a quick and easy system info (Like to see what CPU you have) I like to use Speccy, made by the same guys as CCleaner, Piriform. |

He clearly has some source of income, since he can keep on living and keep on playing games. People with no income live in boxes on the street and they don't own computers or pay for internet access. The point is that even minimal amounts of money, few months of subscription cost at max, will buy you a working used computer. That kind of money is easily saved from even minor income by stretching your dollar and getting rid of all non-necessary expenses for a while or selling a few things on e-bay or local second hand stores. I've been there and so have others. It only requires little effort/sacrifice. If that is truly outside what someone is capable of or can afford, and not just inconvenient or hard because you are strapped for cash, your inability to play EVE is the least of your problems. |

i got a pc with a p3 750, 2 gb ram, 7900 gt video card.
i use it mostly to run some websites on it, but it can run 2 clients of eve just fine. low settings of course.
is not my main rig, but was nice to be able to do a team viewer on it, and change skills when i was away, in places with limited internet acces.
so ... /frown.
and for the people with buy a new proc : if you buy a new proc, you need to change motherboard/memory/video card aswell. an second hand p4 does not work on 370 socket (i hope i'm not confusing sockets here), so at minimum you need to change the motherboard aswell. |

This wont affect me, but to let anyone who does have 1 of these older chips know only 2 days prior to the update stinks imo. |

mmorpg that worked fine on my p3 (i play them when i was bored at work, and had the system near by -> now is in a server room, not all accounts beign mine.) worked fine means medium/low details, 30+ fps, 1024 res. of course, a 80+ man raid or 500 people battles was not possible. wow precataclysm warhammer battleforge tabula rasa guild wars city of heroes, villains. ddo lineage 2 eve online not playable : lotr aoc |

I didn't even know Pentium 3's could run it to begin with. I mean, back in like 2001, I bought a PC for about £399 and if I remember rightly even that came with a Pentium 4 as standard... who the hell is still using P3? |

How about my AMD Dual-core 4600+ 2.4 GHz?
I've killed a LOT of people with it, and I don't play eve for the graphics; they have always been set to the lowest settings, and my Eve screen to the smallest size (to sorta see parts of two-characters' clients on one screen). |

4600+ is definitely fine. The CPUs that won't work are old AMD Barton core CPUs (non 64-bit AMD XP pricessors), and Pentium 3s. |

set up a lean Linux system, run Bochs on it, install Windows inside a Bochs VM, run EVE (the last 2 steps might take a loooooong time on that hardware^^) edit: on a serious note: there probably are projects out there that can emulate SSE2 instructions using SSE without having emulate a whole PC - but the sort of hardware that does not support SSE2 would probably not be able to take the performance impact of this emulation either. |

Actually I run the EvE client on a piece of A4 and a set of coloured crayons, its fine at the moment. But does this mean that I will have to write SSE2 before I play every time now? Or will I need a new set of crayons? |
