Bah im worriedFollow

Its been brought up before and will be brought up again, not sure if my comp can run this, ( I'm in the gutter after christmas, so buying new hardware aint in the book.)

Just recived a new comp for a gift a couple months ago, and since im not the one that bought it , i couldnt custimize it to what i wanted.

specs:
Dell 4700
p4 2.8 ht
256mb ddr2 3200 ( buying another 3200 stick, will mean no food for a week, thats what college has done..)
and the standard vid card ( heck not sure if the thing has 1..

Ive read forums, some people are saying "my old comp runs it not too bad" others are saying "hahah 512mb of ram barley runs it"

comments, suggestions.

"Massive Lag" "Low framrates"

fun? yay?

Note that I didn't say constant lag and dismal framerates. The game's engine is really very efficient, and you'll probably find that the game is playable, if not always the sparkling gem that we all want our games to be.

This is out of context... the entire quote was:

When I'm unable to play on my gaming machine, I play WoW on my Laptop, far from high performance, and has only 512mb. I have no problems with lag or framerate unless I'm in Ironforge. And it's simply a minor annoyance... Not like it's going to cause you to die or anything. Everywhere else is great...

hmm, atleast i know its playable now(just wanted to double check, i'm cuatious that way), now the only thing holding me back is waitng to get my copy of it.. -_-

It really surprises me when I hear people talk about needing powerful video cards to run this game. I run it on a GeForce FX 5200 with 128 mB of video ram and 512 mb of system ram. It runs so smoothly that it actually shocks me. Now if I can solve the random blue screening that happens, sometimes not for days, but it does happen (rebooting fixes it), and the onboard sound locks up the game (I have to run with -nosound), then I will be happy. Buy it, enjoy it, try not to let it take over you life. :)

see thats exactly what i mentioned , CHTULHU said with 512 the performace is not great, and kcaee said 512 ran it smoothly,
bah forget it, just have to be patient till i upgrade to 512mb ram, "Patience is a Virtue" ~ some famous person.

yes, just researched , i have a GMA 900 (Intel Greaphics Media Accelerator 900, Intergrated video card) I've read a few forums of people saying they were running WoW on an extreme graphics(intergated intel video card) and the GMA 900 is just a better version. Intergrated video arent the best for gaming becuase of something where they take memory from somewhere else, but i'd definatly upgrade my ram first, before throwing an arm and leg for a new vid card.
