well i plan on buying this pc http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A6009N/sem/rpsm/oid/178512/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do#tabs but i got a few quentions well i was wondering if this pc can run WOW at max settings and also i wanna know what it means by NVIDIA® GeForceTM 6150 SE graphics with 319MB of video memory-128MB dedicated- well does this mean that as long as i dont use over 128mb then the video card wont use my system ram? or does it mean that it autmotically takes 128mb from my 1gb of ram? i think the graphics card is integrated but im not sure. the description of the video card just says built in
CPU is overkill for wow, The 1GRam is good for wow, Stay away from built in graphics
I use to (dont play no more) run wow on a AMD 64 3500+ with 1Gig Ram and an AGP Nvidia 6600GT 256MB And I could max the setting. Frame Rate varied depending were I was. When I was own my own or with only 2-3 other people with me in most place I would get about 50-80 FPS. When I a big Raid I would usualy get 25-40 FPS
Just make sure you have plenty of ram, a good sized HDD if you plan on playing other games, WOW takes up a lot of space.
If you just plan on playing wow on your PC then I wouldn't worry about an expensive graphics card. Just makes sure you have a gig or more of ram and a good sized hard drive, and you should be fine, oh and a decent graphics card, nothing crazy though.
Yeah I would never ever buy an HP computer. But yeah that'll play WoW fine and you'll be able to buy a real graphics card to play modern games like Crysis if you want to (integrated graphics are worthless for anything high end). You are going to have a lot of trouble with drivers and stuff to get things to work with Vista so be ready for that. Best route is always to build your own.... just takes a little research.
