Can it handle it

Basically I'm curious if this PC can handle WoW (World or Warcraft) easily.
I'll provide the games requirements and the PC specs.

Theres the PC.
I'll be upgrading to a 512mb graphics card in about a month.
So I'm curious if the 256mb onboard <b>Shared</b> will be enough for now.

WoW Burning Crusade expansion req:
Minimum PC System Requirements

PC Processor Type- Intel® Pentium® III processor, AMD Athlon™ processor
PC Processor Speed- 800MHz
PC System Memory- 512MB RAM
PC Video- 32MB 3D hardware transform and lighting-capable video card
--------------------
Then Regular WoW req:
Minimum PC System Requirements

PC Processor Type- Intel® Pentium® III processor, AMD Athlon™ processor
PC Processor Speed- 800MHz
PC System Memory- 256MB RAM
PC Video- 32MB 3D video card with hardware T&L support

Will it play just fine until I get the new card?
The shared thing worries me..

I'd reckon it could run WoW. WoW isn't the most demanding of games.

Yeah thats why I figured I'd be fine until I upgrade the GPU soon.

But its not a 3d card is it?
I think its onboard so I want to make sure I'll be fine?

The 256 sounds more than enough even if it only gives half to the game.
just what about the 3d aspect etc..
 
Don't even look at how much RAM most GPU's have as it's just misleading. Such a card probably doesn't even perform as well as my old Radeon 8500(high-end card from around 2001 with 64MB RAM)

But, as mentioned, it should play it, or at least get you by until you do upgrade the GPU.

"Can you sugguest a decent 256 or 512 card that will play WoW on high easy.
And play games like fear etc.<-----

Something cheap like 150.
Just to pick up with the machine.

Then Upgrade to an awesome card for my birthday."

I said FEAR.
But thank you.
The card you just showed me should run FEAR fine?
Not maxed out and such.
But run it fine for now?
