An average gamer PC in 1999-2000:
Pentium 2 300 or better (Even Pentium 3 was out by then)
3DFX Voodoo 2 (and some cheap 2d card) or a Geforce 256 later in 1999
7200 RPM Hard drive
256MB RAM
Cable/DSL internet (widely available at this point in urban/suburban areas)
The above would run EQ at 1024x768 at 60fps, no problem.
If you did not have this because you were too young and were using a hand-me down PC and were a kid at the time, that's understandable, but that's what gamer rigs looked like back then and gamers played EQ. Enough with the hardware nonsense, please. This game ran just fine on hardware at the time.
