Is it worth Installing World Of Warcraft with a pc with these specs?

. Pentium Dual Core
. T440 2.20ghz
. 4.0 GB of ram
. Windows 7 64 bit
. Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family


I know the Gfx card sucks. But is it even worth playing it or installing on this computer? Or is it just gonna crap up and freeze when im in raids and such.

 

In short?

No, it's not worth it. If you had a graphics card, that would be a different story... I run World of Warcraft on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2Ghz processor and 3GB RAM.

I'm going to guess this is a laptop? If so, your options are slim. If it's a desktop, it would be fairly easy and cheap to add a video card that would enable at least WoW playability.

Yeah I figured that. The only game I got to run fine is old skool counter-strike, and yea it is a laptop. My bad for sayen it was a PC. But thank you for your help.

 

You can play wow with that, just wont be able to do raiding with all the graphics turned way up.

 

My son plays on an Acer Netbook, thats a 1.6ghz mobile processor with built in graphics, he likes it just fine.

 

I played on a p4 512 ram that was used for our resturant terminals for about 2 months, onboard shitty graphics and it was fine for most basic stuff. Granted the addons you use greatly affect performance at that low of specs, but you keep it stock or near stock, you should be fine.

 

Thanks guys

 

Well, I learn something new every day. Good to know that laptop integrated graphics can play WoW. Sorry for the misinformation.

 

I also play on a marginal laptop.
Be sure your settings are turned way down and avoid Dalaran. I even avoid the other high traffic areas like Orgrimmar, Undercity, Stormwind and Ironforge. For checking AH, mail and some leveling in the less crowded areas it works fine.

For crowded places and raiding I use my desktop.

 

So what happens if I gotta go to Orgimar for a quest or something? Or for the auction house?

 

I think you could make it work just make sure you keep everything turned down to a lower setting but at least where it's still playable. The problem I had when I played it with an older laptop was that as I played it for a few hours the laptop got so hot it started to affect performance but other than that it was fine on regular settings.

 

Crono you will probably be slow, and laggy, but it should just be that it may take a long while to get through the city tho lol.
