I'm planning to get new specs for my computer. I don't know exactly which ones to choose.

I plan on a bigger RAM, probably going with 8GB or 16GB. I just have 2GB (._.)
I don't know about graphics cards, I use an Intel G41 Chipset.

What else do I need to upgrade? Help!

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Graphics Card: Intel G41 Express Chipset

I usually play at 15-30 FPS at a fullscreen 1024x768 resolution.

I can buy something below 10,000 PHP/230 USD

Imo, one of the best cards out there is the 450 GTS, or you might want to buy the 550 GTX Ti, but personally a 450 should suffice.

The biggest thing you can do to improve your Legions experience with the specs you posted in the OP is to upgrade your graphics card. Seymour personally uses the Radeon 6870, but with that said, almost any modern GPU will give you a better experience than your current Intel chipset.

So this gpu is lame? Screw you Lenovo.

I checked the Radeon 6870, it's about 10,080PHP. Looks great though. :0

Well, it's possibly lame. I think the Intel G41's used a couple of integrated GPUs, but either way an upgrade is in order!

I'm assuming that your computer is a desktop as well, show me the model number of it so I can bring up its full specs (PSU wattage being important). Seymour will find you a nice, compatible GPU!

as seymour said, GPU upgrades are usually best.

but occasionally some more processing power is needed.
how fast is your intel core two duo?
you could also get more RAM, windows 7 is a bit more of a memory hog than xp and i think 2GB is the minimum anyways.

Yar, just a followup to this thread, Charmie and I spoke on IRC. Found out his PC is a desktop, but an all-in-one design, so a GPU upgrade might not be possible. Going to check out some mod forums in a bit to see if anyone has been able to upgrade the graphics on these units. Anyhow, need to finish up some housework, but here's a link to the machine if anyone else wants to do some researching.

^processor looks fine for playing legions, if not most games bar the top ones, so shouldn't need upgrading.

a quick google implies you can upgrade the amount of RAM (which is dirt cheap to get hold of) but probably won't be super easy to do due to the nature of it being all-in-one.

same thing applies to graphics cards, you might not even have enough room to put a graphics card in, and i highly doubt you will get something really powerful as it will a) not fit and b) melt.

1Gb is worth it if not enough RAM is slowing you down,

1 GB is cheap as :p im upgrading to an extra 8GB its only 37 pound :O was 100 odd before...
but still only pointing out that, that is all that will work incase he did buy 8gb and then wondered why it didnt work...you'd be suprised
