On low it would probably be alright, blizzard's games run off most things well.

the 32MB in the system req reffers to a 32MB GRFX Card which you have but you don't have any where near enough system RAM and you also need to make sure you GPU can run DirectX 9 at all

your first post list 32MB of SDRAM that's where I got it from....you also say your GPU has a 256-bit Architecture, which I don't know how that's possible if it's your GPU that has only 32MB of on board RAM....I have the X1950pro with 512MB of on board ram and it only has a 256-bit Architecture. Second of all you need to calm down and not get so upset, all I did was answer your question with the info you provided. If you want the best answer you need to list your full system specs. BEsides all that, you still need a GPU that can run DirectX 9 and you said yours is DirectX 7.

it's not geforce2 because it's ATI not an older Nvidia but yes that card exceeds all the requirements but you still will not be playing on the higher settings but it will play.

i really really hate to necro this thread ED: (ugh i feel so dirty)

but you're all *expletive*s (too many to type out)

you gave this guy so much false information and made him pay money to buy a new graphics card that he in no way needed???

worst help ever.

WoW runs on a dx7 level graphics card BUT YOU NEED dx9 DRIVERS. which he would have had.

great way to misread the specs guys.

not to mention i've run it off 16mb integrated graphics with 512mb of system RAM flawlessly.

.. i found this thread googling for evidence of WoW runninng of Dx7 GPU's (Geforce 2)... which by the way i found on Anandtech in a review.

idiots.

That's the risk one runs when using forum advice as the sole direction in making a purchase. It's like going on Jeopardy armed only with information from Wikipedia. :P BTW, you should feel dirty, some threads just deserve to die...

I have to call crap on WoW running with 16mb integrated graphics, and if you are saying it did you turn everything on low and lowest resolution and ran around staring at the ground.
