Can my computer run FFXI at 1280 x 1024?Follow

First of all, hello; this is my first post.

Now, on with the post. I already ran Vana'diel Bench 3, but that doesn't give me specific settings to try, so I don't really know what settings it was running at. I have a 17" LCD, so I either run at the native resolution on this computer or get a new video card. Here are my specs:

A64 3000+ Venice
MSI RS480M2-IL S939 Mobo
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 IGP
Corsair Value Select 512x2 MB Dual Channel 2.5:3:3:8 RAM
120 GB Seagate IDE Hard Drive
Antec SLK2650-BQE with included Antec 300W SmartPower Power Supply

If you know anything about computers, then you should know how this IGP performs compared to other video cards. If not, well, it's ~about~ a Radeon 9600, or a Radeon X300, maybe a little less powerful than an X300.

If anyone could tell me if FFXI will run in this environment at 1280 x 1024, I would greatly appreciate it.

(I would like to delay the inevitable video upgrade as long as possible as I'm tight on money right now, but I could of course save up for a while.) :P

Thank you,
JoshuaM

From memory the maximum background (3D) resolution that you can set is 1024x1024, that's without using anything like a windower.

I can't see that card having too many problems with it.

EDIT: And welcome to Alla by the way, stay away from the main forum if you value your sanity, that is all, goodbye.

Mine runs at 1280x1024 full screen with no problem. But I am using an Athlon 64 3500+ with 1 GB of DDR 400 RAM and a 256 Meg Radeon X300 PCI-E Video card.

You should be able to run it no problem, but you may need to turn some of the effects down for better speed. Just read the help file in the FFXI config if you find your system running slow or choppy.
