You first need to check what kind of memory you need and how many empty slots are available.
And also check if your motherboard has a slot for a graphics card (AGP or PCI-E), as not all motherboards with onboard VGA have such a slot.
and by the way even though this computer may have a crappy graphics card or w.e ur talking about, It seems to be running quite well, It's only about 1 1/2 years old now
And its still working fine, before we bought it, the guy who made it also said he could make it into the ultimate gaming machine if needed, so I'm sure we will be able to put a new graphics card into it because I talked to him about it once I think.
Yes, if you added a decent video card (don't go lower than a GeForce 6200 bare minimum) and added more RAM, you'd have a decent system there to play WoW with. That is providing - of course - that you have an AGP slot to add a decent video card.
Every PC can be converted into an ultimate gaming machine, just remove everything inside and replace it with better (more expensive) hardware.
It's just a matter of how much money you want to spend on it.
Don't just believe everything a PC salesman tells you. People who don't know much about hardware are an easy target for them. I wouldn't be surprised if you payed way too much money for your PC.
I'd say a Radeon 9200 or a Geforce 6200 will work (9200 for sure at 1024X768 no AA. )
But the RAM, YES! You really Really need more. That prog likes 1gb to 1.5gb, don't believe what the box says.
Both of thoes will make it a much nice running game.
edit: You could try to increase the amount of system ram your int. video uses, usually from within the BIOS, to see if that will help at all.
Sorry I havent got back to ya guys, but I don't really think the man who sold us our computer tryed to rip us off. Hes a friend of my mom and the computer was actually pretty cheap
anyways...
I'm going to try and find one of those graphic cards and upgrade my RAM
Alright, I made the images of all 5 discs for World of Warcraft
and I put them in a folder I named virtual drive which is now located in "My Computer."
but I dont know what to do now... so I can get the game running faster
someone help me please
a friend mine said try running it through a server like funtime phsyiciatric ward he said it works great
Even if you just buy a graphics card it would be an improvement. The onboard controller you got is an Intel POS. Intel should stick to making Boards and leave the G-cards to the professionals in imo. But yeah for gaming at least a GIG of memory would be advisable.
Any Nvidia or ATI, even if its an old one, would be an improvement.
Not trying to say the sales guy was trying to screw you, its just that the Intel controller "works" but once you put in a proper g-card you will see what you've been missing, detail in games and how nice the textures actually can look
512 MB Should be plenty to run WoW....
You would probably gain a couple of fps by upgrading to 1GB of RAM...
But my advice would be to upgrade your video card... This should dramatically increase the speed of WoW, and also allow you to turn the detail settings up a bit.
The cost of a card capable of running WoW ranges anywhere from US$150 to around US$700.
I would probably recommend an nVidia Geforce 6600GT at the moment, as these offer very good performance for a relatively low cost. (In comparison with latest generation high-end video cards.)
And they are available in both PCI-E and AGP flavours. (Consult your mainboard manual to find out what kind of video slot you have.)
They usually go for around US$200-$250 depending on the brand you choose. Most brands are much the same, with the main difference being in the bundled software, and pretty box.
Try for an Albatron if you can find one, as they offer a good quality card at a great price.
For WoW I would recommend at least 1 GB. If you only have 512 MB and you enter one of the big cities (or any other crowded place), then you can barely move.
I experienced the same thing with other MMORPG's, seems like these games are big memory hogs.
