I've been an avid Wow player for 3+ years now, tanked everything from Karazhan to Black Temple, yadayada. I'm not really looking forward for the expansion though.
Well, I've finally seen Warhammer Online in person, and it looked so badass, and I guess I'll be moving onto WAR soon BUT...............
I check on 'Can you run it?' My RAM and CPU speed is fine, but my Graphics Card fails the test. And my CPU itself just barely passes.
Since I live in a cave, and know nothing about PC hardware, this is where you guys help me:
This is what 'Can you run it?' tells me:
CPU
Minimum: 2.5 GHz Pentium 4 processor or equivalent
You Have: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz
CPU SpeedMinimum: 2.5 GHz
You Have: 3.00 GHz Performance Rated at 5.40 GHz
System RAMMinimum: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista I'm on XP BTW.
You Have: 2.0 GB
Video CardMinimum: A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900, 6600-6800, 7600+ / ATI Radeon 9500-9800, X300-X850, X1300+ / Intel X4500). Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. GeForce FX series not supported with Vista.
You Have: NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM) (GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM))
And this is what it claims: FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this minimum requirement. Upgrade to a more powerful video card will make all your applications look better. Click the 'We Recommend' button to see some great options.
Now where you guys come in: Should I upgrade both my Graphics card and CPU? Or just the graphics card? I don't do much PC gaming or anything else intensive on my computer other than Microsoft Word and the SPSS program for school, so I really won't be needing insane specs, just enough to make WAR run nicely. I have a 15 inch monitor, so resolution doesn't mean much to me. I honestly don't need much more for a college dorm. What card do you guys recommend? I have a PCI-E on my computer, so any card that works with that will work for me, but I'm clueless as to what card to buy?
