Would I be able to play NWN on a Intel Celeron 633 MHz, 3d AGP, 128MB ... without too many lags?

Yeah, you should be fine. The minimum specs are 450 MHz, 96-256 MB of RAM (depending on operating system), and 16 MB viceo card. It should be most enjoyable.

I have found it true in my experience that requirements and recommendations have a huge gap between them.

> Whatever is required will simply get the PC to turn on and not blow up in your face.

> If you have more that required, but less than recommended...you will usually have some trouble, but if you are good at not losing your temper easily...you're good to go.

> If you want to really play the game and almost never have any trouble...you should have more than recommended.

Here is the list of the requirements and recommendations:NWN

Alas, I cannot easily answer your question however, since I am not a PC tech...but there are alot of people online here that are.
One of them will be answering your post soon.

Tks. for your reply. I do hope to get more opinions, because I'm thinking of getting this game... I wouldn't want to get it only to find out it doesn't work, or it is tooo slow [while I do have patience it has limits

]
Tks again!

My friend has a 4 or 5 year old P3 450 with 256 meg ram, and it runs fine for him. He did have to upgrade the video card because he was running a TNT and the minimun requirement was TNT2.

Sounds like your machine is much more powerful, so you should be fine.

128MB should be ok but you'll see frequent swapping to the hard disk. That CPU is fine for NWN, but it depends *vastly* on your graphics card, what is it other than being 3D and AGP? If it's anything below a GF2MX then you'll be struggling big time.
