Help! Will this computer run WOW smoothly?

[Nihl]

Hello. My old computer doesn't run WOW at all, the video card is way too old. I'm thinking about buying a new computer, something pretty cheap.

I'm just wondering if the following computer will run WOW, and how smoothly? Thanks!


PROCESSOR AMD Athlon 64 X2 AM2 3800+ Processor at 2.0GHz, 2000MHz FSB, 512KB X 2 Cache

MEMORY 1GB Corsair TWIN2X1024-5400C4 DDR2 675MHz Memory (2 X 512MB)

VIDEO CARD nVidia GeForce 8500 GT 256MB DDR2 @450MHz, DVI and TV Out

OPERATING SYSTEM Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit w/Original DVD

It'll run WoW smoothly, but you should really buy it with two gig of ram rather than one for Vista, as the sticky explained.

As an FYI, you should really read the forum stickies.
