Can this computer run WoW with max settings or meduim settings?

What about the framerate?

Yes, definitely! I’m not sure about the framerate and settings, but you should be just fine on medium settings. Although, if you have some spare cash, I would upgrade the graphics card. You don’t have to do that right away though – only when you reach level 80 will you really need good fps, when you start raiding.

basically i wanted to know if this computer packs a nice punch for good gaming. I know its not a GREAT graphics card, but id imagine this is a good setup that’ll run games at pretty good settings and smoothly. how do you think it would compare for playing gta san andreas, and F.E.A.R. on max? and how high of a game do you think it can possibly go?

if anything i would consider upgrading to a BFG – NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 OC 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card if the Nvidia GeForce 9100 doesn’t quite cut out to be worth much in terms of graphics power..

Also if you think this is overall a good computer hardware setup, i usually go for intel processors, but this processor sounds really nice, the more opinions the better.

thanks for the help. (:

Without a graphics card you will not be running those games on max if at all. The integrated chip will give you a headache in games. If you buy this consider an upgrade (to the 250 like you mentioned) mandatory. Also consider upgrading the PSU it will most likely be insufficient to push a mid to high end card.

Typical HP or Dell, no graphics card and a cheap PSU. My advice build your own!

I know its alot for to just play WoW but at best buy theres a good sale it costs like $500 & the rest that are cheaper or around the same price range dont offer nearly as much as this one does

Well, ignore the douchebag who commented before me.

Personally, I’d recommend a cheaper, simpler computer, because if you only want to play WoW and not anything more complicated, you won’t need such massive processing power. Its way overkill- like buying a ferrari to race a bunch of 5 year olds on scooters.

Unless of course, you just have tons of spare cash sitting around, under which conditions i would then tell you to go for it, stimulate the economy, cheers.

Also, don’t play WoW too much. It sucks souls.

6000+ is of course a dual core, you just left out the X2. Anyway, yes they are compatbile with each other.

We are third year computer science under graduates…we must do akin project this semester….we have a good lan in our campus with a seperate server for each hostel……we thought of STORAGE VIRTUALISATION of our computers…..i.e making the hard disks of the computers accessible to others ihn the grooup…..is this feasible……..

you can set up a sub, setting the permissions so people can access the other hard drives.

Every computer is therefore a standalone server.
