WoW lists 512MB RAM as a minimum requirement so more probably will help although I am not sure that that is the source of these errors.

Your Graphics Card (assuming that it is working OK) appears to be quite adequate.


If you get new RAM it is advised to match your old stick as completely as possible.

CPU Z will tell you exactly what you have (under SPD):

Are both these computers having the same problem with WoW?

Sorry if I've forgotten the history; I've been reading so many threads.

Anyway the second motherboard is much more limited than the first. As to AGP it only runs at 4X while the other runs 8X.

The card installed on the second computer is also much weaker than the other.

well the second post (the last one posted) is having the most troubles, u cant see the screen basiclly with all the tears,

the first one (which u said was fine) teh screen goes black every 1-45mins depending, occasionally it says 'ATI has reset ur graphics cards" but rarely.
