Hardware upgrade

12/18/2009 19:50 kr0n1x#1
Hi, I would like to upgrade my poor pc (thanks xmas!) to play wow properly, in raid and not.

My currenct spec is:
Asus P5B
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 (1,8Ghz)
Radeon HD 3450 512mb
2*512mb ddr2 800 mhz

running on windows xp sp3

I would like to spend only the necessary... not much.
I know my ram is very low... I will upgrade it for sure!

Could you tell me some good pieces with their prices?

Thanks a lot, Bye!

I've seen it around 100 euro... is it correct? what is the normal price of a radeon hd 4850?
and how much for 4gb of ddr2 800mhz ram?

First, if you dont want to spend some extra money on a Mainboard, we have to know which one you got.

Right, sorry I was fixated on RAM and Graphic Card.
Alright, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] - [Only registered and activated users can see links.

But I would recommend you to save some more money and buy some better Stuff so you can also play lagfree in the future.

Does the game utilize multiple CPU cores?
Yes, the game will recognize and use resources for up to 3 processors during play.
