OK. Thanks for the feedback.

When you say tweaked, how did you tweak it?

She's not too good with PC knowledge, so she had a ton of Automatic startup programs that I either disabled or put on manual. Plus she's running an Intel integrated graphics set, so I went into her properties, and created a memory footprint for her, and also enabled a 3D setting. Basically, it's like all PC games. Close all programs you do not need that are eating processor time. Best way is to go into the control panel, and look at the "Services" selection. You'll find a list of all of the things which are kicked off by your PC which you may not even know are automatic. If that fails (which it often does, b/c other programs force the issue), you'll have to track down what programs are kicking off the "junk" you don't need, and figure out how to disable them. I've gone as far as editing the registry for some of the MS stuff (they bury some of their communication programs pretty deep, IMO).

Can somebody tell me how good WoW would look and how fast it would run on this GFX card, please? :

A 256 MB Radeon X1300.

Thanks in advance, for any feedback.

What kind of processor are you using? Anything less than a P4 1GHz and you'll have problems with framerates (the expansion pack is more graphics/processor intensive in the expansion for Outland). Note: up till Nov. 2006, I was using a Pentium III 600MHz, and that will definitely would NOT cut it....

Umm... I think it's a 2 x Pentium (R) CPU 3.00GHz. Not certain though.

That setup should be good...my sis is running a laptop with 128MB of video RAM, and I was able to tweak her PC to get the framerates high enough... DL the 10 day trial & see, but everything should run fine.
