    Choose either Windows 7 or XP for your Operating System, and you should be alright for medium end games depending on your video card. If you're only playing Runescape this is more than enough.

    Ok thanks, so I just need to look for one with xp or windows 7 OS.
    Will this run Runescape well, also will I be able to have other applications open, such as MSN, RSbot and Runescape client? Would this cope ok without lagging or losing connection? :confused:

    Sounds great to me.
    Depends on which game you are playing, for runescape this is more than you really need.
    But, bigger the better?

    Ty for your input :)

    Yeah all I plan on playing on this desktop is Runescape as I have a seperate Dell inspiron laptop for all my work stuff, and the rest.

    On this desktop I will basically have 3 windows open almost 24/7.

    - RSbot
    - Runescape running on Firefox
    - MSN

    I just want a decent desktop that will run them all without any delays or major lag, is that too much to ask of a desktop? :confused:

    Yes, I COMPLETELY GUARANTEE that the desktop will be 5000000 times better. It has a faster processor, a lot more memory, and it's just generally better in every way. You'll be happy.
