Thanks so much for the guide! I'm usually a DPS but got fed up with the lack of healers on my server so I decided to make one. I wouldn't have known what to do if I hadn't read this.

I used that 'will my pc run this' program to see if my computer could run SWTOR a few days ago (a noob move? I'm not exactly smart when it comes to these things) and my computer passed with flying colors. Cool. I went out and bought the game and either the test lied to me or my video card decided it was too elderly for my gaming. When I try to play the game, even on the lowest settings, it's super choppy, laggy, and the dialogue is out of sync with the movements. It's just unplayable. So to make a long story long: what are some good choices for a video card? According to my friend, the one my computer came with is pretty much the lowest quality one I could get. Also, I'm a poor college student so I can't afford to shell out the money for a top of the line card, but I should be able to scrape together some money for a good one. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
