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.

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

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 The simple problem is that when you try to piecemeal upgrade outdated systems, it is wasting money because you buy older components.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.
