If there is anything else that I should post concerning how well/bad this computer is going to run World of Warcraft

What I am concerned about is the RAM cause it is at the very Base of what you need for WoW will that make the game run slow?

nope it should be perfect and should run smoothly, if u have problem u can change the settings of wow for better performance, other then that, no reason to worry!

sweet

Uhh it will run it decently till someone engages you in PVP or you go into like orgimar. WOW is the msot RAM dependent game i can think of but if you put another 512mb of RAM in the system it will run perfectly.

another 512?

I play with 512 RAM just fine.

Really? no lag? (Well how are you in normally lag servers?) oh and I have this awesome Internet Speed Engine that would probably work in WoW it won't only improve your running speed it would probably increase your hitting spped just as fast,

Do you think it is worth submitting?

You can't effect attack speed it's server side is it not?

And I play with a WIRELESS connection too and little to no lag.

sweet, I also have Wireless,

So your saying then it probably isn't worth submitting, I am not positive it works in WoW but what it does is Speeds up your Internet by like 5000% and it is variable you can speed it up or slow it down

i say get another 512 stick anyways because windows does take up most of that ram and wow also takes up a nice chunk.

Go to outpost.com and get the 2gig ram for only 120 it will make the game run smooth. Wow in 60fps+ is great.

2gig ram? Wow..... that'd be nice. Though not all types of RAM are compatible with all types of computers.

That'd kill all lag on my computer........................... i think i should buy that.

how much does 512 RAM cost? usually

i got 512 from tigerdirect before, only cost me i think $40

just get a nice 1 gig stick to start with. Will save some room for more later on
