I used to play wow on my C2D 2.66 ( they dun make this chip no more lolx) and I still am playing it on this! My gfx card was the X1600 up until a few months back where I decided to just get a 1gb 4850 due to decision to use 32inch lcd tv and a 19inch lcd screen. yeah i run 2 monitors at 1 time. Heck I still can play wow so gfx card or cpu power aint gonna make a diff if u're deciding to buy stuff 1 year old. I've had thsi pc for the past hmm.. 3 yrs or more i think so the mobo n proc still can power!
