256kb internet broadband

1.8ghz cpu

nvidia GeForce6150le256 RAM in the system? That is enough to slow any XP system right there.

Perhaps you were talking about the card....Yeah you wouldnt even be able to turn wow on with 256mb!it works just laggs a tiny bit in major citys its annoying.. and by the way, the guy who sed it wouldnt even turn on it works really well on this computerull have to live with that. that doesnt just happen to u, it happens to everyone. when u land in org and ur in the center of the city ur and its  primetime server hoirs ur loadings a crap load of information and graphics all at once. it happens to me to.256mb of ram is the minimum requirement for WoW.

lol well excuse me   in the year 2006 I didnt think people still were using rigs with 256mb for gaming.  I hear 256mb and I think Red Alert 1 1997
Actually Red Alert 1 only requires 8MB of RAM. 256MB computers were not available in 1997. Quote

I was running 256mb  back around that timeHey, I got a computer given to me to days ago with a clean install of XP Professional....On a 500mhz celeron and 60mb RAM! AND it started up in under 5 minutes...Of course, first thing I did was install 98.
97? Same era as Theme Hospital, Command and Conquer, Magic carpet and the first tomb raiders. I cant imagine 256mb.... Quote

first of, wow generaly dont use much of your gfx card, and it works great even om a 56k modem (thou moving trough bigger cities is kinda hard) i live in sweden and  have a 24mbit ADSL right now. it works like a charm but sometimes it lagged hard moving into the large 40man dungeous. i used 512 mb RAM then. then i bought another 512 Ram and now its no problem. conclusion : wow uses lots of RAM , the more u got  the merrier
