    Hello all,

    Im playing world of warcraft on a AMD 2000+, 256mb RAM and GeForce MX 440 computer, it gets laggy sometimes and i was thinking if there is somthing i could to boost it up a bit?

    More ram and a better video card with certainly boost performane. Do you have AGP support? If you do get a Geforce 6600 and at least 512mb more ram.

    I play WoW, and played 'til almost Lvl40 on 512mb, and it was terrible.

    I went out and got another 512mb, and it's like a whole new computer.

    Also, yes, if your PC has AGP support, buy something better.

    Do yourself a favor and upgrade because some of the end-game instances and raids are a little more hardware intensive than earlier on in the game.

    ya WoW needs more RAM. They recommend a 1GB which I agree with. Your CPU is fine, I'd also upgrade the video card as well but the big boost will probably be the RAM

    yup, 1 GB should be fine. It was a little laggy for me in IF, but nothing major. When I bought another gig (2 GB total), it was lag free for me

    WoW goes munch-munch to RAM. Anything from 1GB + is perfectly fine. A better AGP card wouldn't hurt either.

    lol

    alliance pally... it was so hard to gain acceptance and reputation.. just because of the alliance kiddies that play like shit... but a few hours in a BG or in an instance and ppl could see that I don't need to lern2play

    Anyways, when BC will come out, I'm definately rolling a BE on a RP server with my GF.

    This will be one way to play a BE without being harassed by the horde haters. (I agree with them that it will attract annoying kiddies, but shit see the barrens chat, they are already there )

    I was skeptical about continuing with my paladin. I got to this point where everything slowed down in the mid 30's. I rolled a rogue and spent a weekend ripping shit up until I hit 25 and missed my paladin.

    Got my Bone Biter last night + 9 damage enchant. I'm ripping shit up in Arathi Basin now. I think I'll build some rep up before I hit 40. Rep or mount, rep or mount...
