What do you play WoW on?

[xTAGx Wizard]

I'm needing a new computer bad. Actually plan on buying or ordering one this weekend. Just curious what other people use to play the game.

Pre-built PC, Modified Pre-built w/ Vid card, Custom built or ??

I'm think I may try my hand at building my own, just looking for a little input. TIA

i'm a proud Apple user, so pre-built and windows free!

I built mine a little over a year ago have made only a few changes on it.

Current specs are:
AMD 6400+ X2 CPU
ASUS M2N-SLi Deluxe MB
Silverstone 600watt PSU
Seagate 320gig HDD
2gigs Corsair XMS DDR2 800
ATI 1950XT 256mb VPU
lotta' fans and a huge case
and a 22" widescreen and 17" standard monitors

I play on a new macbook pro. Runs great with just the standard 2gb ram and video card.

I play on a pc I built almost 4 years ago and it wasn't the top items out at the time either-cost me about $700. You can either do like me and build yourself, or for custom pc without assembly check sites like

iBUYPOWER: Custom Build Gaming Computers Desktop PCs, Notebooks

and other similar sites. You can put a nice pc together and it won't cost you too much-especially if you check the deals. Also if you do put your own pc together keep in mind your actual computer usage. I built mine with an 80 gig hard drive, and when I build my new one I don't think I'll be getting a whole lot higher, mainly considering I still haven't even used half of this one. just things to think about

If you have the money, get a mac. If you dont, building your own pc is probably the cheapest and best way to get a good computer, because you know exactly what you want/need, and can leave out all the extra features.

Also depends on what you're playing. If WoW is it for you, then a thousand bucks will do you fine...but, if you wanna play Crysis or Unreal Tournament, then thats just not gonna cut it. But I agree with terrorist. I dropped 2 grand with iBuypower so that I could go quad core and havnt regretted it at all. WoW looks great with everything turned up all t he way at 60fps.

Piece of crap "package" form best buy that had literally nothing. 500 megabytes of ram, used the motherboard for video, no sound card. Nothing. Cost me $300 for it all, came with speakers, keyboard, mouse (replaced), and a monitor. A nice monitor too (flat screen, 21 in), which if bought separately would have cost me about $150 probably. Then, replaced all the ram with 4 gigs. Got a dual-core 2 GHz Pentium processor. And a geforce 7600 video card. All from newegg.com Cost me around about $225. I had a old soundblaster card lying around that works just fine. Total spent = $550 (got an uber OP mouse of doom) for a computer that runs fantastic, and a great deal on a good monitor. Didnt even have to actually build it myself either.

Another added perk (did NOT come preloaded with vista )

Just got myself a spanking new iMac 24" with 2GB ram. Lagged a lot in Sh. City when mounted. But in an extra gig. Now with 3 Gb ram, smooth. real happy with that setup.
