    System reguirements.

    https://buy.guildwars2.com/

    GW2 Minimum System Requirements:
    Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3, AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 or better
    NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI Radeon™ X1800, Intel HD 3000 or better (256MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
    25 GB available HDD space
    Broadband Internet connection
    Keyboard and mouse

    There it is.

    Im worrying about that "Intel HD 3000".
    To me, that standard is pretty high no?

    I have Intel i5 2300. Which is kinda new to me.
    I guess, i have to buy new processor to play GW2 mm?

    Please help me, im pretty newbie when its about the system reguirements heh.

    Intel HD 3000 is the name of Intel integrated graphics (on Sandy Bridge CPUs).
    It has nothing to do with the processor model name.

    That said, the i5 2300 only has Intel HD 2000 graphics, so your best option would be to buy a cheap PCI-E graphics card.

    Intel HD 3000 is the integrated graphics, not the processor. Not sure if u have a dedicated Graphics card or not, but that processor is well over the processor minimum.

    How will my NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M fare? Through googling, some people have said that it would be fine, but I was some more opinions just so I can be sure. If not, I need to start looking into an upgrade, ASAP.

    Start -> Run -> type dxdiag

    or get this program, it gets you a much more accurate description of your system: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z...s-history.html

    It's not that bad. Probably medium or something. Maybe even higher.
