Hey I was just curious to find out what is the bare minimum req on a computer as far as hardware goes to be able to play online games like World of Warcraft and such?And which are some nice upgrades ,

Answer 1

NOT A GEEK, but just read the top lable on any high computer performance game.
They have a sticker saying it...
yea... u feel stupid now don't you???
accually, im probably gonna feel stupid cuz i gave you a wrong answer

Okay, Um WOW...(world of warcraft)... you would like to have a LAN line not a wireless internet, CPU speed, get a dual core AMD, wait till July cuz price cuts, look on www.newegg.com
about 2 gbs of DDR memory
preferably 2 videocards and if you have money to burn or smoke/ sniff, then get hte new 7950GX2s or 7900 GX2s get 2 of them for quad SLI

Answer 2

This is for WoW
Operating System: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP or MAC OS 10.3.5 or Higher
Processor: 800 MHz
RAM: 256MB RAM
Hard Drive: 4GB Free Hard Drive Space
Video Card: 32 MB 3D Graphics Card

Halo
Operating System: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP
Processor: Pentium III 933 Mhz or Higher
Video Card: 32 MB 3D Video Card
Hard Drive: 1.2 GB HD
CD-ROM: 8x or Faster
RAM: 64 MB RAM

I would recommend a better Video card and a lot more RAM. About a 128MB video card and 1GB or more of RAM. The amount of MB on the video card doesn't tell you exactly how good it is though

Answer 3

The minimum requirements are generally stated on the box, but for todays games, heres what would make a decent midrange pc:
A 3ghz processor
Midrange graphics card (ATI: x1600, Nvidia 7600)
1 gb of ram

These things make the biggest factors. To play wow, you really dont need a powerhouse of a computer, what's stated above would easily handle that game.

Answer 4

For Elder Scrolls 4: oblivion, you need 1 gb of RAM or DDRRAM (about 110 dollars if you type in RAM on google and click on the one that makes the most sense), at least an ATI Radon 8500 graphics card (about $100 at Best Buy), 700 MHz FSB, and at least 2 GHz of speed

Answer 5

system requirements are usually listed on te back or bottom of the box of the game.the system requirements for World of Warcraft (WoW) are:

Intell pentium III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz. 256 mb of ram. 32 MB graphics card with 3d acceleration. 4GB of HDD space, 56k or better internet.

you might want to get a 1.8 MHz processor, a Nvidea 6 series or etter or ATI 9500 or better and 512 mb opf ram might be useful. be sure to have more than 4GB of HDD space for all the updates from WoW

Answer 6

MINIMUM for all games:AMD or Intel 2800 Sempron (for AMD) and 2.8 Celeron D (for Intel),512 MB of Ram,a Mainboard that supports Dual Channel DDR (beter DDR2) Memory and PEG (PCI-Express graphic slot),an ATI or nVIDIA graphic card Radeon X700XT (for ATI) Geforce 6600GT (for nVIDIA),HDD at least 120 Gb SATA2,(for online games) a gooooooood internet connection ADSL if possibile,and a LEGAL copy of the game you want to play.....have fun

Answer 7

You would actually have to look at the game. If you look at the back of the box it will tell you the operating systems and the processor you need in order to play the game
