Extreme performance requirements?

What would be the minimum specifications of a windows computer that could run with all the settings turned up as high as they can go? I mean something where on your typical connection of say, 512k - 1 mb, you would be bottle-necking on the network, where FPS is limited by network alone? In terms of AMD processor.

Since i play ddo on a 1mb dsl connection without issues, my guess is that with a 120mb connection, you can't reach that point.

Actually not all that high specifications needed. DDO is not a graphics intensive game since it's already over 6 years old. Even a standard newly bought PC should be able to run this game at max without issue.

In fact your harddisk tends to be the bottleneck way before your network connection. So as long as you use the DDOPreloader, SSD or a Ramdisk you should be fine with any new system.

By the way I've noticed DDO uses quite low bandwith. I can download stuff at almost full speed and play the game at the same time without noticing a thing.
