Officially the minimum specs are out of date, I happen to have the box nearby so the official mins are thus:

Win 2000
800mhz pentium III
256 mb ram
2 GB available HD space
GeForce 2 series or Radion 8500

As it stands now, the download alone is ~3.5 gigs so the minimums are out of date. The only thing I could tell you is to run the trial and see. Once it is officially announced on the site I'll send you a trial of the mac client. If it doesn't work, no loss, if it works, 14 days free play.

The only thing that might hold you up from my last look at your machine is the chipset, which is a really touch and go thing. I've seen people on the tech forums for the game with the same chipsets but not able to run on one machine and able on another.

When dealing with onboard situations it'll either fly or not.

I misunderstood the announcement, it's only moved into Open Beta. I thought it was odd they would skip that, since their normally very rigid about testing.

Here's a DL for the beta client, you should know if your machine will run it before you need any account info. If your machine WILL run it, let me know and I'll PM you MY account info. You can play for free till Open Beta is done.

I think since this is on the test server, my account can be active there and on the live servers simultaneously...

Rumour is GMA 950 will run the game, but on low graphical settings.

I downloaded the dmg and installed the game the other night; just haven't had a chance to test it out yet. I'll let you know what's what when I do.

Released now, and the ad is humourous.

Ooh, double XP from my birthday to Amy's. Nice.

I have the .dmg I DLed the other week installing now. I'm not sure if it'll run, but we'll find out.

You may have to enter in safe mode and reduce the default graphics a bit, but word on the forums is that it'll run. Let me send you a coupla free trials, that way if you decide to sign up (I'd buy the mac special edition, comes with a free months play and a ten dollar item pack, 15 dollars of play time+ten of items for 20 bucks no tax) you get 14 free days.

Cool.
It's DLing the software now for the installation, at about 550Mb of 2.7Gb.

Mac and PC play together as well, so I sent one to you and Amy as I'm sure your PC can handle it as well so you can play together.

Unfortunately, it's not letting me log in for some reason. I'll try again tomorrow, see if maybe there's a setup lag.

Justice Baby, all the way. It's a west coast server but it has the best attitude among all the servers. IMO.
