Hi -
Yeah, you should see a pretty big improvement with the Raedon card
installed. It should fit fine into your AGP slot. You might have to
enter BIOS and disable the onboard vid chip. That onboard chip not only
sucks, but it also steals it's video memory from your system RAM! So
it's little wonder you had probs with frame rates, heh.
I'm mostly a WoW player, but I did play GW briefly a couple years ago.
One thing to do if you still have frame rate probs after installing the
Raedion is to go into the game's settings and throttle back some of the
video settings. Especially the ones that let you see far into the
distance, and the ones that create shadows. It won't look as pretty but
at least you won't have as many lag-deaths, lol.
Increasing your system RAM up from 512MB will also help a bit frame
rates when you are in areas with lots of other characters or mobs.
Good luck,
Donk
