I am looking for a good, cheap computer that can run WoW. Does any one know of such a computer?

Not hard to find. Go to a garage sale and find a old pentium 4 computer. It'll run WoW fine. My computer specs are Pentium 4, 3.06ghz, 896 RAM and a sorry graphics card that cant even play resident evil 4. It runs WoW very very well.

Pretty much anything that doesn't use an integrated GPU.

If hamster wheels were Windows compatible, they'd be able to run WoW.

No, e-mail and see if they can add two or three hamster wheels.

Serious answer: Yes. You'll get bad slowdowns in cities and during raids, because it still uses an integrated video card though. Otherwise the processor and RAM are more than enough.

EDIT: That wouldn't be a bad buy though. It does have a PCI-E x16 slot. So you could just buy a cheap video card, install it, and you wouldn't have any trouble with WoW.

Great thanks. I have always wanted to get into PC Gaming but have been restricted to a 360 for years so all I have to do is raise the money!

I also bought a PC from PC World a few years back, not a good investment, if you buy from there then foreshame... I threw the WoW disc into a dust pile, jammed in the necessities like a keyboard, mouse and a monitor and managed to run WoW 25-35fps

Get one from overclockers.co.uk, and these people talking about running the game now on P4 etc, yeah maybe on low ass settings because WoW actually isnt as easy to run (at decent settings and res anyway) as it used to be.

To be honest, get something at least you know, half decent, because even my "newish" PC struggles to get FPS in Dalaran or in some raids.
