Anybody know if there is a free demo of TOR? I'm pretty sold on it after the quick look, but I don't know if my crap top will run it well enough to be tolerable.

my laptop is a 4 year old dell xps:

4gigs of ram

2.00 ghz dual core processor

gefore 8600gt 512mb graphics

plays it on low extremely well

Typically takes at least 6 months for MMORPGs to put out a free trial.

Throw us your specs and we'll judge.

Right now there's about 2 million paying customers trying to elbow their way past each other to get into servers, I think now is probably the worst possible time to have a bunch of lookie loos taking up precious population space.

Mine is a four year old Pavilion Dv6.

The problem is this: Mobile Intel Series 4 chipset. I don't have a real graphics card, it's an integrated chipset, which is well under min settings. I'm hearing other people with the same chipset have seen some serious graphical issues, and I know in the beta in around Sept I experienced some real crazy stuff like missing not displaying images of it's content.

I don't really want to pay $50 to find out whether I can play it or not.

mine chugs a lil bit at intensive moments on a decent graphics card that plays arkham asylum on nearly full settings...

I don't necessarily care about framerates drops, I care about if it will actually run or not.

@allworkandlowpay: i doubt it will run.

TOR is pretty graphics card intensive, more so than even RAM. I don't think it'll be remotely playable with your rig. Save up a couple hundred. I built one that maxes it out for 6 hundred Canadian.

So I was looking on systemrequirements to see if I could in fact run this game. They said that I could, but I would like to know how well. So if anyone can help me out, that would be great.

Its a five (?) year old dell DM061

Intel Core 2 CPU 6400@2.13GHz Processor

4gb RAM

Geforce 9500 GT (1gb)

Thanks

I don't have that kind of money to be saving up just to play one game.

@allworkandlowpay You'd have a new console essentially, not just a SWTOR machine. But I understand, I didn't bother with a new PC for four years.

A new console I wouldn't play any games with except SWTOR. Any PC games I do play are usually far below my specs already (Hearts of Iron for example.) and I don't play newer graphic intensive titles on the pc. I'd be paying $650 for one game.
