    I am going to be doing some upgrades to my PC.
    Here's what I've got...

    1GB DDR PC2700 RAM
    P4 1.7Ghz 256k cache
    Albatron Nvidia 5200FX (128MB)
    MSI 645 Ultra

    If you click on the link to my motherboard specs, I'd appreciate if you could tell me if I would have to replace it in order to play World of Warcraft/Call of duty United Offensive well.

    I don't mind upgrading my CPU/GFX card but I'd rather keep my motherboard if it's still able to run those two games nicely.

    Also what cpu and vid card would you recommend for those games?
    Basically I'm letting you guys make my choices lol...

    Thanks for your time.

    i have the same video card and a 3ghz pentium 4 cpu. im able to play world of warcraft at the default settings no problem.

    what i would do is play the open beta which starts today. www.worldofwarcraft.com and see how it runs. if its too choppy or you want a higher resolution upgrade your video card first. like an ati 9800pro. if that doesnt meet your expectations buy a new motherboard and cpu.

    Well, I've been in beta for a while now.
    I just got done playing actually.

    I get 20 fps MAX when I'm not around much.
    When I am in a town or near alot of mobs it's more like 10fps

    That's on low settings with 1024x768 res.
