Still, 11.0 Mbps should be more than adequate to run the internet. Guess I should scan for viruses and spyware.

Anyway, doing the little scan thing:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00Ghz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048MB RAM

What does Page file mean?

Uh, graphics card is an ATI Radeon Graphics Processor... I think... that says it has 256MB memory.

Running a check on Titan's Quest. It came through once, but I can't remember if I did immortal throne or not. We shall see.

So, first thoughts, then we'll talk money.

My laptop can run TQ smoothly at Medium settings, so your more powerful desktop should have no troubles.

Page File is "RAM" on your hard drive. Basically, if something is sitting in memory for a while and not being used, Windows will dump it to a specified space on your disk to make more room in your actual (much faster) memory. I usually let Windows manage my Page File for me, which is probably what yours is set to.

If you want to try defragging, it's best to disable the Page File for it, then re-enable it afterward. I, or Google, can give you directions to do so if you want to defrag.

If it can run Titan Quest it shouldn't have a problem at all with the Immortal Thrones expansion pack, not too advanced. You should be fine to play the game, at most I would say maybe look into upgrading your card in the near future, can get something cheap with at least 512MB memory or 1GB.

But the PC seems to be a good build for now, would rather suggest you save the money and when you plan on upgrading just buy a new rig completely.

Good advice. Thanks.

Got it to run, computer seems good to go. Signed up for Stream as well. Going to defrag tonight, since... it's been a while, and then look to set up after that. Briefly looking at it, I need both Titan Quest and Immortal Throne for the latter to work, correct?

***Demi-God*** · 03-08-2011, 09:28 AM

What's your Steam account name? And yeah, there's something called the Titan Quest Gold Edition where you get both for the same price you would get JUST Titan Quest, retarded I know.

Here's the link to it: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/402/

Mibs, I added you in Steam too, so don't be surprised to find my request lurking there.

I am nearly finished with TQ:IT. I am in the Hades right now, already beat up the Ferryman. We should soon be able to play on epic setting. I also got some equip in case someone needs anything. So just ask, maybe I got some good shit for your class.

ACt · 03-08-2011, 12:40 PM

Stream account: Maedhros_Noldorin

Epic setting already? I have some work to do. How I'll juggle this, writing and work, not to mention wife... this is going to be fun. I assume you guys do this headset thing? I think I have a simple one my wife uses to Skype her parents when they are foreign countries. Hope that works.

OG · 03-08-2011, 12:44 PM

nah theres no voice in titan, just a chatbox

nerox-addict O= im not that far =[

Jaxon · 03-08-2011, 12:46 PM

If anyone wants to do voice we can run a Skype conversation or something while we're at it.

***Demi-God*** · 03-08-2011, 12:49 PM

We could, or we could run a mass chat through Steam and use the voice chat there like we did last time Jax, might as well if Steam will already be open.

Sweet... I HAVE FRIENDS!!

... my wife is going to make so much fun of me. Still, cheaper than XBox Live.

***Demi-God*** · 03-08-2011, 01:05 PM

Your wife is just jealous man. Just jealous.

Any question about, let us know and if you get tempted easy, prepare your wallet for Steam sales because it'll get raped.

Servo · 03-08-2011, 01:43 PM
