Title: Video card.
Post by: Krazed on June 26, 2006, 04:13:44 PM
Well, I plan on doing a total computer build in roughly 8months with the release of vista, (mind you, I plan to for the first time in my life purchase a legal copy of windows, I'm not quite sure that'll happen though.) but for now I've spent $50 on WoW and I'd like to play it. What video card would you guys suggest for me, also, what ram?

This is the computer (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=405440&lang=en&docname=c00070262#) I have now.

On a side note, I'm looking to spend under $175ish (USD) on the video card, and am looking to buy 512x2 RAM.

See if the price of the 7950 GX2 goes down anytime soon ^^. Or just get some Nvidia 7 series card.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL  Yeah the 7950GX2 is going to be below 175 any time soon.

If you can find one (maybe on Ebay) get a GeForce 6800 GT.  It's never let me down.  I run WoW at 1600x1200 with high LOD.

On a side note, only PC2700 Ram is supported, right?

That's the same video card I have. I have had no troubles at all playing WoW.

I choose it because it was cheap, I own it, and it does everything he wants to do.
