Subject: DO I need more RAM or a Better GPU or BOTH I need to play Warcraft 3// I have the following Specs.. Intel Pentium 2 450MHz 256MB SDRAM - 128 MB Kingston PC133 - 64 MB Kingston PC133 - 64 MB Hyundai PC100 16MB RIVA TNT 19GB Western Digital HD 7200rpm 2mb. I think I need more RAM and a New Graphic Card.. Since all my slots are full I would need to replace one.. How much extra RAM do you think i should get... 256MB?? and the Graphic Card... I am thinking of the GeForce 2 MX400 and the GeForce 2 MX440.. whats the difference I sure see more difference in the Price.. Replies are appreciated..
Just FYI, you need both, even my friends GF2MX on a Duron 800 is very slow. To play smoothly, sorry but u'll need at least a 1Ghz processor and at least a Gf4MX level card...
We know cos we've been LANing War3 for months!!! very very addictive. Hmm, if budget is really tight, a p3 900 above with a gf2mx is good enough but be prepared to face some lagging. Even at 800x600 at 16bits mostly at medium settings some at low.... for me a 1.4 TB with 512MB and GF2Ti is just only right... but still lag when there's LOTS of units in the screen...
Dude.. you need a new computer man. Forget about upgrading already. From your specs, the processor is totally maxed out already even with more RAM, the system won't go any faster!
Well..He still can keep his WD HD unless he likes to download a lotz of porNz like one of my friend who has 120gb but still running out of space
Hahha better change your com until 1Gz la. I am the one using Duron 800, somtimes so sad when u see it lagging !!! For my opinion GeForce 2 is enough la
heh.. my celeron 433 @ 488 .... 256sd & gf4 mx 440 !~ .. ... gameplay slow nia... graphics no prob... ........ never tested warcraft 3 on my pc yet ....... tested NFS full graphics.... & gta3 1280x1024x32 .. .. nfs horpursuit gameplay lag when opponents arround... gta slightly lag a bit ... with any display setting.. planning to get p4 1.8/2.0 ghz.. .. & p4x400 & maybe if can afford 512 ddr333 ...
Of course la U using GF4 man Is time to change you CPU.... I believe there will be more new and nice game coming out !!!
p41.8/2.0!!!!!??? PLZ DUN JOIN THE DARK SIDE....plzzz... stay with AMD in rivendell I tot warcraft depends more on your RAM then your graphics card? cuz I think warcraft doesn't need high FPS like serious sam..correct me if I'm wrong
If you try to run at 1600x1200 max detail, you will definitely need a more powerful graphics card. But yes, 512MB is recommended to play WC3.
how do you know that the elves use AMD instead of Intel ??? God knows, maybe they use the VIA's C3 chips.. LOL... quieter and less heat.
you need a powerful weapon like Athlon to fight against the dark force I think Mr.Elrond would rather join the dark force if he was forced to use C3 as his weapon
howdy, OK i am an AMD poster child. so my vote goes for the AMD box. i cant comment on WC but my AMD box runs Q3A with all OGL extensions and all settings maxed with no lag at all. GeF4 Ti 4200 has yet to met a game it cant handle with ease. M.R.
