WoW system reqs

[LtPage1]

question for all of you lucky people with the world of warcraft beta- what kind of hardware do you need to run it well?

P4 2.8 533FSB, 1GB DDR333, GF4 ti 4400 runs it just fine (over 30fps with most settings on high). From what I hear, it scales well to rigs much less than that even.

I'm upgrading my rig anyway (more for HL2 than for WoW). Come Monday, you won't need to be lucky - just sign up for open Beta and try it out yourself.

It's a typical Blizzard game....very forgiving of system specs. Still they managed to make the game look very attractive.

I ran the first stress test on an old system close to those min. specs (P3 with a 64MB Geforce 3 ti200). It was very playable on low settings. I plan to finally upgrade before the end of the year, so I can enjoy all the eye-candy at high setttings.
