    Probably, but it probably won’t be pleasant relying on integrated graphics from a CPU that’s 10+ years old. You might need to turn most settings to min/low and will still encounter stutters, especially if you’re playing “modern” content. It’ll be like playing in 1999

    On vacation I sometimes play on an old laptop with similar specs and from that experience I’d suggest trying something that gives you some more umph in the graphics department.

    It will run EQ, just painfully slowly.

    But if you're just making a cleric or shaman bot machine for a TrueBox server it would suffice.

    Spend a few more dollars for something like https://a.co/d/fpnYFLB

    You probably should have asked before getting rather than afterwards.


    The HDD is going to be a worse issue than the integrated video, in my opinion.

    Is there a reason why you are going with a mini-pc? Do you have a size constraint or is it just because they are cheap? If you are just doing it because it is cheap, then Amazon.com: Dell Optiplex 5040 MT Desktop Computer, Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz (up to 3.60 GHz) Quad-Core, 8GB DDR3L RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit, USB 3.0, Display Port (Renewed) : Electronics is the way to go. You can upgrade the memory a lot rather cheaply, your integrated graphics are much better, and you can more easily get a decent video card for for cheap as opposed to the SFF ones.

    Runs 6 Box on EQ just fine.

    Jokes aside. I run EQ on a Z83-F Fanless Mini PC, 4GB+32GB/ 4K. Used to be under $90 but for reasons under much debate, it is now over 200$. While I need to turn the clip plane down a tad to avoid the characters cardio habits of running in a circle around my main. It just takes longer to log in.

    Also of note the previous post has an excellent cheap alternative. I had my mini-PCs stacked for space constraints.
