When "testing the waters", I used some old laptops that had built in graphics cards and barely any RAM.

Somehow I managed to get to level 40 like this before purchasing actual decent hardware. I could never enter major cities with all of my shaman, as I would constantly have to take two steps and wait, take two steps and wait, take two steps and wait in order for my laptop chars to catch up.

My RFK video in the movie forum shows how I fared with sh*tty laptops, 1 old PC with OK specs, and 2 higher end PCs. Compare to say, my ZF video or PvP video and you can see that my lightning bolt casting is much better synchronized. Running damage meters, my higher end computers were pulling almost twice the sustained dps as the sh*tty laptops.
