more Ram or ...

[from deaTh]

I'm having problems when I enter in Ogrimmar for example- everywhere outside my fps are about 35-60 , and when in Ogrimmar it's about 5-10...I hate that... Someone say that I need more ram for that, that graphic card is not big problem...
I'm playing in 1024x768 with almost everything on high-few things on medium

Athlon 64 3000+ s939
Nforce 4 Ultra
Ge Force 6600 le (256mb)
512 ram

Will be better with 1gb of ram? Or 1.5gb?? Or do I need a new graphic card...

Thanks in advance!

1gb of ram for sure. I bought a machine with a athlon 64 3400+ with only a 128 mb video card and 512mb of ram. Everything ran well until i went into stormwind or Ironforge. Then it was lag time! I bought an additional 512mb of ram to give me a total of 1gb and now everything is Butter smooth. I can even look at the great forge LOL!

thanks for helping me solve this, cuz I thought that maybe I'm suppossed to play with low detail level but now u made me so happy...I will buy more ram, if tomorrow... Thanks

Aim for 2Gb imo , memory is cheap enough and you'll see the difference,
I certainly did when i upgraded from 1Gb.

Sweet! I've been watching this thread because I have a similar problem-- anytime I go into a city, lagggggggg hits badly. Glad to know that it's a relatively easy/cheap fix.

[from deaTh]

thanks guys- I was worried that maybe it's cuz my Ge Force is an lower average GPU, but everyone says that WoW need more ram for quickly loading all those landscapes and players in main cities... Maybe I will upgrade to 2 gb... Just to be safe with all max details... :)))

2GB is starting to become standard in higher end systems like your own. WoW really benefits from it. More then 2GB for WoW on the otherhand is just silly.

...you say that now.

i play with 756mb Ram. Athlon...rated at 1.25ghz in my System Properties :afro: and if i mount up in IF right after i land i can almost get ot the bank b4 i see another toon or my own hunter on the ram....:undecided:

[LordXeper]

I have the same on my work computer, which has 4gb of ram. I don't think it's related.

I think you should get both... i have as follows:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 3800+
2.00 GHz, 1.87 GB of RAM
nVidia GeForce 6100 Graphics Card

only problem i have is when its raining in Ashenvale. lol... but all i had to do is turn on tripple processing or w/e and it was fine... so i suggest you should get both, more ram AND new video card.

yup that FPS lag problem is the loading of the city.. the more ram the faster the loading process is over.. you will even notice that instances and zone ins will load alot faster after you double your ram.

[asskicker]

Intresting, i have 512 mb ram.
I think i'll go for 1 GB in the near future. :)

Somebody knows the price for 512 mb ram?

Thx in advice.

[rgirty]

I recently purchased 512mb of ram for about 50$ your mileage may vary depending on type of ram you need.

[FodderCannoned]

AMD 2400+
with an nvidia with 64 mb of ram
I run at 1024x768

WITH NO LAG
cause i have 1.5 gigs of ram, 3 512 sticks

everything about my computer sucks, but the amount of ram, and i run the game smoothly

[coolxboxgamer]

i have a decent computer to run WoW on

specs as follows:
x2 4200+
2gigs pc 3200 ram
7600gt xfx xxx edition

other unimportant things..

WoW runs amazing at 1600x1200 max settings usually capped at 64.1 fps (duel core glitch) and in IF , Storm, or Ogrr is aroud 30-64.1 fps

i sugges 2 gigs of ram and a good graphics card.... ull lobes it

i had a p4 2.0ghz, 5700le, and 512mb of ram

huggggggeeeeeeeeeee diff with 2gigs and a good vid card

[amgyn]

ram prices are around 1$ for 10mb .. so 100 for 1gig, 50$ for 512..

Go for 1 gig, I found mine at the local comp usa, on sale for 100 bucks.

[Intera]

Yeah you need 1 gig. It's a fact.

I had 1 gig but I built my bro a new PC, he couldn't get RAM for it for a week so i leant him half of mine. Worst week of my life. Game was absolutely horrendous when flying or in any major city. (Got an XP2800, and a 6600GT)

Now I'm running 1.5Gb :P
