Default Cost of a computer to run this game?

Ok.. so.. im with this 2004 model of a computer thats a peice of junk. Havent been able to afford one since.. untill now. I recently got about 500 dollars for christmas and about 200 added on to that from saving up.

Now.. this computer could BARELY run the damn game if I got into a big town BAM dced. (this was during the trial I own both expansion already. )

Also.. is this game hard to run on vista?

i'm not sure about what you should expect money wise but the laptop i use to play WoW is a Dell XPS nothing upgraded(its my moms computer) so that may be able to help.


And i have vista, game runs like a dream for me.

YO ALEX I haven't been playing L4D BECAUSE OF WOW. Anyway I recomend a cheap video card if you still have the one that came with your computer and more than a Gb of RAM. Like 1.5gb is great. I use to lag a lot in big cities but when i got a gb of RAM it runs smoothly. No lag no hiccups no nothing.

Also what server do you play? i play Magtheridon Allies

I run WoW on low setting on a 1.8ghz processor, 512mb ram, standard IBM ProSetII graphics card, pretty mediocre computer. I run it with little to no lag, pretty decent Framerates and whatnot. But, I run Windows XP. Vista takes a boatload of memory to run, XP isn't that memory intensive.

Seriously, if you guys come to FarStriders I can get us in some early lvl instances and a nice guild. But if you don't want to, I'll just be lonely.
