Can this computer run World of Warcraft?

So I was taking my tower to a friend's house to use it because he didn't have a working one.

The next morning I was taking it out of my car and i dropped it.

It is now broken

I was wondering if this computer (the one i use for homeschooling) is capable of running WoW.

    No... Well, yes, but it will be laggy and crashy.



    Need: More Ram, better graphics card and a bigger HDD.

    It will probably run it, but it will lag very much.

    Ya your only hope of it not crashing is to stay away from all towns and major cities. I played wow on a comp just like that and it sucked.

    You got the same graphics card as I. I hate Intel... It won't run it at all. Don't try. I have more ram and memory than you and I can't run it.

    Edit - Wait, you got the same computer as me. Except my is more upgraded in a way.

    16 gig harddrive on a pentium 4 machine? Thats a typo. Pentium 2 machines came with 16 gig hd's.

    I think thats an onboard video (seeing as its intel)... which means you dont even have a real video card. go buy an 80$ video card and u might be able to run it.

     1. Runescape

     2. Astonia 3

     3. Strive for Power (the ONLY mmorpg with... *drumrull*... permadeath  )

     4. It is FREE for you to see if WoW will work on that computer. Visit the WoW homesite, and download the WoW free trial. When you go inside the game, hit the ESC key one time. Turn every single setting DOWN or off. When you mouse over each setting, it will describe what each setting does.)

    sorry for reviving an old topic but to let everyone know... YES you can run wow with intel 82845g graphic card. it depends on ram and other specs.



    i can run wow with not much lag with a intel 82845g card, 60gb hard drive, 768mb ram and 2.00Mhz intel processor. hardly any lag at all on med settings (never tried high setting). only time you really lag is when you enter a town or somthing like that but still the lags not that bad.



    sorry for reviving an old topic though.
