Video card/comp upgrades.

Postby Jazendar » Fri Apr 16, 2004 2:04 am

Ok I need some prices. I'm planning on going into WoW. Right now comp spex are

75 gigs of hd space.
512 ram
Radeon 7000
2.0 gighz processor.

I was wondering how much a Radeon 9700 pro or 9800 would go for? Or if those are a good choice at all, if not any others for a better price?

Or is a 7000 ok for WoW? Cause i know i was runnin kinda laggy in VT on raids and shiz. Which is what i dont want. When i played EQ...Anyone?

Dont compare everquest to other games. The graphics code is so shitty it lags when WONDERFUL looking games do not.

Im not sure on the 7000, but a 9700 pro is very nice, have had one as well.

2.0ghz processor is just fine, get another 512 stick of ram. As fast as possible in your price range. 400MHZ or 333MHZ minimum.

With 1gig of decent speed ram youll see a major improvement over any processor upgrade at this point.
