| Re: upgrade pc Most likely the max itll take is a Q9650. Looks like you need a new graphics card. Something in the nVidia 200 series or an ATI 5000 series would be a huge boost. Also, look into getting more RAM if you have a 64-bit operating system.

| Re: upgrade pc Thanks for the suggestions all, - I've been looking at graphics cards and I'm looking potentially at NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 PCI-E Graphics Card, does anyone have any views on this particular card for 5 boxing, certainly seems to be an upgrade. - I'll also increase my RAM to 8GB My main question now I guess, is would I be better to upgrade the processor, or the graphics card first, as one will be this month, and one next month. Im unsure as to weather WoW is more CPU / GPU intensive. Many thanks again |

   | Re: upgrade pc I got with AT LEAST a GTS 250 1GB, IMO... better than minimum for sure, but I get great results with it.

OK for a GTS 250 is still a reasonable price, is it a dual display card? | |
