Low End Gaming Experience (Virgin MiFi and old System)

Just for those who might have been curious I present the following:

Due to a move I've been relegated to connecting over a Virgin Mobile MiFi system. Which is a portable version of the Sprint 3G network. And I only own a several-years old iMac with a junk graphics card (ATI Radeon HD2600), running on 4g of Ram (and that's as high as I can go).

And it worked just fine for the most part. I get an annoying lockup/crash talking to NPCs, but actual play was ok. For a while there were more mapserves than usual but that smoothed out so I think it might not have been me. Yes it was a tad more laggy than usual, but not particularly. No horid rubber banding, etc.

So if you ever wanted to know if one of the various 3g cellular modems would be playable, yes it is. =)

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
