So, i'll be the first to admit I know **** all about hardware. What does 512mb of ram really mean? I got no freakin' clue.
So my question is, what do I need to upgrade to get WoW (of course) running more smoothly?
The problem i'm having is basically as much as I love WoW, looking at screenshots was only exciting before the game came out. I don't enjoy looking at screenshots while playing the freakin' game. I get lag every time I play, I just kinda assumed it was normal till I started watching PvP videos and got a bit suspicious their computer didn't freeze every two seconds when someone used a new ability.
To make matters worse, I just hit 60 with my new char whom will be my PvP *****, so you can imagine how my computer feels in bg with 40 ppl blasting each other with fireballs and the like. Oh yeah, I love my screenshots.
So, what I want to know, because i'm hardware illiterate, is exactly what components I need to upgrade on my computer to make it lag less in high stress environments. Also, if it's a specific thing if you could reccomend a brand it would be awesome too.
(All my video settings are on the lowest possible detail, even distance viewed, yay for alliance getting the jump on me!)
Please help teh Kama. T_T
