April 26, 200719 yr My friend is going to start playing WoW, he hopes. SPECS -Amd Sempron, 1.6GhZ -SiS 760 (TO BE UPGRADED, don't count this) -512mB pc3200 ram I've check out everything else, but I'm unsure if WoW would run "good". Also, he's looking for a new vid-card. Any cheap suggestions for him?
April 26, 200719 yr Most likely. Those are around my specs and I run WoW just fine. Gamertag: King Arizona
April 26, 200719 yr Here's the min specs, as told on the official website: What are the game's system requirements? Minimum System Requirements WindowsÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî System 2000/XP OS: Intel PentiumÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz 512 MB or more of RAM 32 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as NVIDIAÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî GeForceÃÆââââ¬Ã¾Ãââ 2 class card or above DirectXÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî 9.0c (included) and latest video drivers 6.0 GB available HD space 4x CD-ROM drive A 56k or better Internet connection MacÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî OS X 10.3.9: 933 MHz or higher G4, or G5, or Intel processor 512 MB RAM or higher; DDR RAM recommended ATI or NVIDIAÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî video hardware with 32 MB VRAM or more 6.0 GB available HD space 4x CD-Rom drive 56k or better Internet connection *Note: Due to potential programming changes, the Minimum System Requirements for this game may change over time. Recommended Specifications WindowsÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî System 2000/XP OS: Intel PentiumÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî IV 1.5 GHz or AMD XP 1500+ MHz 1024 MB RAM 64 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as NVIDIAÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî GeForceÃÆââââ¬Ã¾Ãââ FX 5700 class card or above Broadband Internet connection Two-button scroll-wheel mouse MacÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî OS X 10.3.9 or newer: 1024 MB RAM or higher; DDR RAM recommended ATI or NVIDIAÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâî video hardware with 64 MB VRAM or more Broadband Internet connection For what platforms is the game available? The game is available for PCs and Macs. Does the game require a 3D accelerator? Yes, the game requires a 3D graphics card. We support a wide range of 3D cards that conform to the system requirement outlined above. Specific 3D card support information can be found here. Is the game playable over a dial up? Yes, a 56.6k modem or higher is required. What is the camera perspective of the game? The game supports 1st- and 3rd-person camera perspectives. Players will be able to utilize the mouse wheel to adjust the camera angle as the situation dictates and switch between cameras on the fly. Apple's OS X Boot Camp software lets me boot Windows XP on my Intel-based Mac. Can I run Blizzard games under Windows using Boot Camp on these systems? Yes, you can if you wish to do so. However, please note that as OS X Boot Camp is in beta form, we can't offer technical support for Blizzard games run under Windows using Boot Camp at this time. What is Blizzard's plan for native Mac OS support, now that Boot Camp is available? We have a recognized track record of native Mac OS support, and we have no plans to break with that tradition. We understand that our Mac player base prefers native software whenever possible, and our cross-platform development practice addresses that. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

Most people don't know if a graphics processor is good though, that was my problem.

Any cheap suggestions for him? For a cheap graphics card you can get the 7600gt for $109. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130062 The above suggestion is if you have pci-e slot on your motherboard, if you only have an AGP slot you can get this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102057 If you have money left over from the graphics card purchase I recommend getting some more ram. Getting 1gb of ram would greatly improve overall computer performance.
