Get WC3. It's the better game, and the fact that your computer can actually handle it is a plus.

You cant run COH without proper shader support.

I'd say buy COH because Warcraft 3 sucks, it is not like it used to be (if you played WC1 and 2)
If you don't have a shader your game won't crash, it'll only make the graphics messed up a little (colors, pixels, etc) but if your computer (specially graphic card) can handle the game there won't be any majorproblems, this or having a game full of bugs?

WCIII definitely doesn't suck. I would say both games are excellent,although Iprefer WCIII personally. If shaders are going to hold you back in CoH, then the lower price and system requirements of WCIII would seem to make this a no brainer for you.

Warcraft 3 and the expansion is probably one of the best quality games you can buy. COH is quite well done too, but you will keep coming back to Warcraft 3 I promise you that.

It is just really fun, the custom games will keep you busy for a long time. Sounds like your computer cant really handel COH any way.

This is coming from a pretty hardcore ww2 fan so, lol, I whouldn't normally steer you from a ww2 game unless the other is really good and it is REALLY really good.

Company Of Heroes is a better game because it does things most other rts games dont, WCIII is just another rts nothing special, you build up your army and send it and hope it wins, while COH is a bit different you cant turrle or youll get owned, you have to take ground and hold it to win, plus there is supression, rear shots on tanks, flanking and such that makes it require alot more skill to play, but if you just want to play a simple rts I guess COH is too much for you, oh and the Graphics in COH are amazing with fully destructable envirements

I am guessing that it said you don't have the required pixel shader version.... That means you don't have a video card capable of running CoH. So that makes your decision much easier. If you buy CoH, you won't be able to run it. Go for WC3.
