I have a piece of junk computer, so I want to get some opinions if I can run Guild Wars before I shell out 50$

Here are the specs down to every detail
Now the worst component of my whole computer is the little HP logo on the case lol.... I was a noob when I got this thing. Anyway
1.1 Celeron proccessor (Socket 370)
2x 128 sticks of PC133 SD ram.
PNY Geforce FX 5500 PCI
Some 40 gb hardrive

Do you guys think I will be able play this game smoothly with no lag on the lowest graphic settings with vsync off? Now I also have a question about RAM. I have looked my computer up on crucial ram, they make ram specifically for HP's Dell's etc that is guaranteed to work, anyway they say I need two sticks of 256, but it is expensive, it will come out to about 150$ for two sticks. Anyway I have a friend who will give me a stick of 512 for free. Do you guys think if I put the stick of 512 PC133 in the first slot, will work? This computer is about 3-4 years old now so I don’t know if it can support a 512 module.

Thank you for the help in advance.

If you would have read my post, you would not have posted that, those specs are not specific enough, please read my post before posting something that I have looked at a million times, I put some thought into this thread. Trust me.

Anyway can I get some of your guys specs that think I can play it ok. Can I get some more details by someone please.
