ATI Rage 3D

[Matt444]

This is the graphics card that is currently installed on my computer. I wanted to know if it is good enough to use for World of Warcraft (required is 32mb 3D card).

Thanks

Rage 3D is a graphic chip series name. What's the exact name of your video card?

 

[Praetor]

Regardless of the name, its not enough for WoW.

I feel like a super newbie now but my friend said he would give me this ATI Radeon X300 SE.

 

[Praetor]

That will run WoW (well it better or else ill lose every ounce of respect i already lost for ATi all over again) ... it'll run The only problem you'll have is that the X300 is a PCI-Express part and i think you're looking for an AGP part (and no they are not interchangeable) .. you'll need to find a AGP card

 

[Cromewell]

an x300SE may run WoW but how are you planning on installing in your comptuer?

...ahh Praetor's edit beat me

I have no idea, I have installed CDROM drives and RAM but thats all. Is there any other cheap type of graphics card that will run WoW but is easily installed. BTW the system is this http://www.shopping.com/xPC-E_Machi...80GB_CD_RW_NIC_Microsoft_Windows?PG=1&Z=44023

Its not a matter of ease-of-installation but rather the X300 simply will not fit/work with your machine As for reccomending a card ... whats the budget?

 

[Matt444]

I'm hoping to spend about $40 on the graphics card i know it is to little but it really is all i can do. I quit my shitty job

Alright, well it was a good Christmas and my Grandma came through for me with $500. I am now planning on upgrading the sound and getting this graphics card if it will work good. So http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1070894&CatId=319 or http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1058661&CatId=319

Thank u

The GeForce there should be a better performer

Is it compatible with a compaq presario SR1210NX. And will it run WoW. ^^ I couldn;t tell if you were giving it thumbs up for woW or not.

I believe this would be better then the two you chose. I think this the best you can do for under $50

I assumed you had already checked for compatability and was asking which was better of the two

That would be incorrect. It's quite compatible
