EverQuest PC Building & Laptop Guide
Everquest is a legacy game. Most builds you see online are tailored for modern games where they cut costs on the CPU and RAM, just so they can blow the budget on a nice video card. EQ requires the exact opposite: it barely notices your video card and instead puts load on your CPU and RAM. As games grow more video card dependent, the need for Everquest-specific PC builds (especially for multiboxers) increases.
If you've never built a PC, it's much easier than anyone would lead you to believe. If you're smart enough to run KissAssist or put together LEGO's, you have the intelligence required to slap together computer parts.
You should follow a general step-by-step guide when building your PC. If you prefer text (with videos when helpful) I highly recommend TechReport's guide here. If you prefer pure video, we like this one:
