The FOXCONN M61PMV with integrated 6100 mobo should handle warcraft even without a dadicated video card. For $20-$30 more you can get a board with the 8200 inegrated graphics from newegg.com and it will handle warcraft even better than the 6100 northbridge. You can get a board with blizzard supported graphics so you can save up for a top of the line card down the road if you want. Here is the official site for blizzard supported video cards and integrated graphics.

Here is the rig I am leaning toward, to replace my ageing AGP computer. It is not top of the line but it has a lot of room to upgrade and will play warcraft very well. All components listed on Newegg.com

Case; Rosewill R891SL with 350W PSU (24 pin & 1SATA connecter) $34

Mobo; Foxconn M61PMV AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA 6100 Micro ATX (4pin to SATA power cable) $40

Ram; Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240 pin SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC 6400) dual channel $20

Hdd; Western Digital caviar blue 80GB 8MB Cache SATA 3.0GB/s model WD800JD $35

Dvd rom/burner; LG black SATA model GH22NS30 $24

Video card; SPARKLE SFPX73GDHU2512 GeForce 7300 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express X16 $30

This is an inexpensive, highly upgradeable starter all for the low cost of $245+shipping. This will run warcraft with no problems and probably on high settings. A friend of mine has the geforce 7300 GT and runs warcraft on med/high settings smooth with good FPS. This rig will play WoW and I am assuming it will play Doom 3 as well. The processor I listed lists 800 FSB, but the reviews say it runs at 1000 hyperthread. Every thing I listed can be upgraded to more expensive and more powerful parts, but it is a great start for a budget gamer.

The most important part of the rig, to run World of Warcraft, is descent graphics (dedicated or integrated), CPU FSB 800MHz or better, and 1GB memory (for Windows XP) or 2GB (for Windows vista). You can run with 512MB of memory but I dont know how well. I ran it with 256MB memory, a Celeron CPU, and old SIS integrated graphics for a while on low settings, but it would get a little choppy. But I am going to build a new rig after income tax refund. You would only need a high end video card or 2 video cards (SLI) for the new high end games. You would only need to run multiple raid HDD for the new high end games. Im going for a budget build to run WoW and low end games for now. I will wait to see what new technologies they are going to come out with before I think about investing in SLI and RAID. I cant wait to get the new rig built so I can play a deathnight.

Untill then, DRUIDS RULE!
