The Can My Computer run this game thread!Follow

Im quite sick and tired of seeing useless post of people wondering if their computers can run this game.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/

Smart people will always check on the homepage if their computers can run it, Not in the fourms.

Heck by the time you waited for a darn reply you could have sniffed it up yourself. frankly many people are ignoring these stupid question save a few who are a little to nice for their own good (then they vent.)

Also I belive many people dont like to click on links prob they are paranoid that they might be sent to a website that will put a virus or spyware on em, or simply they think it might be **** and they dont want to get caught.

Well I hope this helps eliminate a few posts.

To all those who already know this I ask you to help me keep this bumped.


Also for those who dont know much about computers. go to Control panel from the start menu and click on the system icon to see your ram and processor.

to check your grafics card just right click on your desk top select properties then settings and you should see your grafics card mentioned on that screen.

BTW if your a person who comes from ffxi from your comp, if you played ffxi you can play wow with no probs.

To answer on sgtrich's question in another thread:

Yes it will RUN, although not very well, it will get very choppy.
I strongly recommend having at the least 512MB RAM and a 128mb Graphics card.

I played with 256mb ram once (DDRAM) and it was hell, one of my memories burned up. I turned down the resolution to 800x600, which looks horrid if you ask me and it still lagged.
Anything less than 512 is unplayable if you ask me.

Edit:
Oh yeah BTW, good idea Zanon, I was also getting kida annoyed at seeing 2-5 of these pop up here every day. :P

well i dont know the statistics of my computer can i have a test to see if i can run it.

Nice post, rate up.

Carbonel thats why there are Minimum requirements. If my cpu specs are Lower than the requierments needed to even play the game at its lowest settings than why should I ask if my cpu can even play it. its Just common sence.

Even if you just meet the minimum requierments you cant expect a game to move smoother.

Also were talking about a game that minimum requierments asks for more ram as minimum than FFXI, however I can run WOW at higher settings than i could have ran ffxi in.
