My Com Spec is


Intel®
Pentium® 4 CPU 2.66GHz
2.68GHz,512MB Of Ram


My Graphic card is GeForce 5 Fx5200

What should i upgrade to play wow in a No Lag Condition ( Not Latency i mean by like loading npc and stuff Faster ) And to have a better graphic ?

ram of course ... to 1g at least
and ur gc ...
other than tat still fine

Ram
VGA card
better connection

everything.

even on dual cores WoW would be running 30-50% all the time, and worse when more activities/players are showing up on your screen, and/or you have lotsa UI mods, or you 25man raid a lot.

i recommend at least 2gb ram

what's your budget planning to upgrade?

2gb not enough if u're running vista. may need more.

512MB is too low dude
1gb is quite euff for my suggestion but u better dont open songs or any other stuff when playing it...

Max out on your RAM or you will have many embarrassing moments if you don't like going where you are not supposed to be.

Erm... my budget is about RM600-1k of upgrade ?

Yea Thats quite true so i can just change my Ram To 2gb Ram ? Good enough i put it 1gb 1gb rams Plus together ?


Erm... Currently using Windows Xp

Erm...Upgrade to Wad Version of GC? Geforce 8 Series ?

600-1000 ah

I think why not try to scrounge up more money before you upgrade. Upgrade parts of older computer is not worth it. Do some odd jobs, save more money, sell backside etc.

Im running windows XP and 1gb ram is definitely not enough.

assumingly you dont run anything else, 1gb is enough as WoW onyl takes between 400-600mb. where the rest would be for the OS.

seriously i got another pc running on 1gb with 9800xt w/o lag...

aroud 200-300ms but jerking graphics due to very low fps at cities...

but not gonna promise it gonna last long once in wotlk...

depends... and will see...

by rights with your 1k budget...

u can get 2gb of memory with a ati 2600xt card...

assuming you are using agp and D1 slot...

which will be costing you 500+/-


p/s: just a suggestion fr my point of view, upgrade at ur own risks...

a matching pair 2 gig of rams and a NVIDIA 98 series or ATi Rv770 shouldkick pretty much well...

I use a lot of mods which take up lots of ram.

If your planning on using more then 2 gig, such as 4 or 8, you need to upgrade to Vista 64bit that can effectively use 4gig or higher.

nah... agp slot wont able to use those cards...

No need to spend RM1000 that much just to play WoW la.. Add up a little more of that RAM, I think your card should be fine with low settings.

in regards to dragna's post, RM1k if only for WoW is a bit too much yeah, but theres a possibility starcraft 2 and diablo 3 comes out and you find your computer lacking stuff, so its best to upgrade all the way, as much as possible.

Anyways, this may help your decision:

And to make it simple for you, I'll copy paste the important points :

Do your own calculations from here, but I think RM1k isn't enough.. Maybe pinjam some from friends/parents(stay away from loan sharks ya.. ) and push that to 2k or something... Then you prolly won't need to upgrade for when other games come out as well..

It's not about spending RM1000 just to play any one game. It's not just about WoW. The simple problem is that when you try to piecemeal upgrade outdated systems, it is wasting money because you buy older components. You might need older memory, which costs more than mainstream memory and is slower. You might use older AGP cards, which are not value for money either. You use the best CPU the older socket can support, but the CPU is being phased out and from my experience, it can be unstable.

So let's say you manage to get a decent WOTLK-barely-make-it-lar-bro-QQ system by upgrading the memory and AGP GPU in a tight budget. But that system will last another year at most, and you can't play the latest games next year end. If you want to play the next-generation software, you then need to upgrade again.

Instead, how about if you saved the RM1000 and topped up some more later? You can then do a big bang upgrade and get a brand new rig (new mobo, CPU and graphics card). It futureproofs you for much longer, you actually save more money in the long run, unless you suddenly GF aggro and swear off PC gaming in the future.

thats why i kept my answer simple:





no need to explain that much right? well, i suppose there many others doing their share in explanations. so i can save my strength to spam more on TFM chat
