So after playing the first beta test for Tera I really wanted to update my ram and CPU to handle TERA. After the second beta test I was compelled to get new gear, lucky for me I gots college grants. I picked up a Nvidia 560GTX sometime ago, just to stay up to date. So that didn't need replacing. But I needed to upgrade from my old Dual core to a new quad which meant a new motherboard. And I now run 8 gigs of 2133 ram instead of 4 gigs of 1333. And my HDD is now running at it's full 6 gigs a second instead of 3. My games run better now that's for sure but I'm still damn disappointed with my systems overall boot time. I can't wait for the 3rd Tera beta THIS weekend so I can see how my new rig handles it.
