Linkz.. ur rig is good enough to play. WoW's "highest" setting will differ from pc to pc as it depends on ur hardware. imo, u will have no problem enjoying the game with what u have now. Its the gameplay and fun factor that made this game the most played mmo worldwide & not its graphics. WoW gfx has been known to take a back seat to other mmos out there like EQ in terms of realism. WoW takes on a a diff type of gfx (not realistic & human like), one that is consistent and evident in all warcraft games. I like it a lot.

I second Bogardan comment.

LinkZ, your setup is about same as my.
And you don't need to setup everything to MAX.
That will cost you a bomb, likely 5k+ PC.

For me, the improvement from 512 M -> 1 G is especially when I crossing zone, no more pc-lagging.
pc-lagging still occured, but far lesser and very short.

The next important performance for the online gaming is your connectivity.

good luck, have fun

RAM is the important factor here. Last time when I had 512mb of RAM, I always lag when flying into IF. Now, with 1256mb of RAM, I fly in and out without any lag.

Graphics card plays a small role actually, I do raiding and PVP on my this miserable (but lovable) laptop and it's fine smile.gif

So I would say:
Connection >> RAM >> graphics card.

go 2gb if you think you can splurge.

My rig: Pentium IV 2.4c, 4x512mb DDR333 Ram, Leadtek 7600GT TDH 256mb

Performance: All bells and whistles turned up max and no lag whatsoever, 40-60fps but goes sub 20fps in Orgrimmar on peak hours.

"Max settings" may not be a good measure of rig performance because WoW max settings will differ from pc 2 pc due 2 hardware. The correct measure would be the resolution that WoW tells you is your max res with current hardware vs fps. my 2 c.

I don't see why not.

My laptop's graphics card is only a Radeon X300 with 64mb memory, but my RAM is 1.2gigs la but I can still run WoW smoothly without any hitches.

If I were you, I'll just get another 512mb of RAM and play it. If you are not sure whether or not you like it, just PM me or anyone that currently plays for a free 10-day trial smile.gif

YES! You Can!! I still play with my old rig.. and yours even have better graphic card then me! hehe.. I had to make it 800x600 at 24bit but I experienced acceptable frame rate..

And.. if u ever did decided to play WoW.. come to Aman'thul horde side.. we could explore Azeroth together.. with crappy frame rates and all tongue.gif

p4 2.26 GHz
1.00 GB RAM
my ATI graphic performance standard setting is level 3 out of 5
run quite well for me at least.. if i put level 4 then will have some lag spikes

if u really want to confirm with ur PC whether can support onot.. i suggest u install the game n log in with ur real life friend's account... to test the performance on ur PC.. then only decide to start playing onot

Play PvP server...I'm sure you will enjoy PvP server more than PvE server.PvP server never gets bored and very fun everytime which is you worried abt horde ganked you or you ganked horde.PvE server is a little carebear...just leveling and nothing to do.If you want to have a pvp fight you have to go to arena.But i respect those which is in PvE server because different people had a different perspective.Cheers smile.gif

Yes, I or anyone else playing can provide you with the free 10 days if you want biggrin.gif But after that, you need to get the RM109 retail version because you need the activation code to change your account to a full working account. The RM120 one is the top up, something like using prepaid. If your time is up, you need to buy the RM120 card to top up.

So, if you get the 10 days free trial, you will get:
10 + 30 (from the retail) = 40 days of gameplay

Without the freetrial you will only get 30 days of gameplay.
