Guild Wars 2

Hi I’m not new to Guild Wars but I am new to the Forums. ^-^; So if this is in the wrong spot, I promise I’ll move it.

I have a Toshiba with Windows 8. She runs GW2 like a dream. Due to a lack of funds and a computer I was actually allowed to download it onto even if I had the money to buy it…I never got to play the original Guild Wars. But now I have the disk and I was wondering: Could my laptop handle both Guild Wars?

Oh and this is the stats/data for my computer if that helps.

6GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable to 16GB)

500GB SATA hard drive

15.6" TruBrite TFT display

Only has a Intel® HD Graphics 4000 graphics so performance will be poor.

Earthchild has already said they are happy with the Guild Wars 2 performance, and are looking to find out if Guild Wars (the original game) will perform the same.

If the laptop can perform well enough to keep you happy whilst playing Guild Wars 2, then there should be no reason why Guild Wars 1 won’t do the same. Its requirements are far less than Guild Wars 2 and should run very well on the listed specifications.

If you find that GW2 runs well on your system, then GW1 can only run better.

But having both won’t slow down my computer or anything will it?

Are you planning on having both games running at the same time?
Cause that could cause some trouble.

I am also confused by your statement. Are you trying to run both games at the same time?

No I don’t plan to run them at the same time, but my worry is having both games on the same laptop will eat up my memory and make it slow.

I think you have mixed up memory with storage.
Storage is on the hard drive that holds your all programs and Windows. Having both Guild Wars game on your hard drive is perfectly fine. You can store as many games or programs as your hard drive can hold and it will not affect performance unless you actually fill it up.

Memory is on the RAM and only fills up when you run programs and games. When you stop running it, it will use less RAM. If you tried to run both games at the same time, then you will have performance issues because you will run out of RAM.

So long story short, you will have no problems.

Okay, thank you.^_^ Sorry for the confusion.
