I currently have a E-Machines T2042...Pretty old, from like 2002 I believe. It serves me just fine for daily activities and such, but I also use it to play World of Warcraft. But I cant really do much into the game due to the low framerate I get, even with all the videos settings turned down. So I bought 2x512 of RAM to see if that would speed it up, and it did a little bit, but it still lags really bad in cities/heavily populared areas and instances, which is usually where you need it to be smooth. So instead of spending the cash on a brand new computer, I was thinking about just getting a new motherboard or video card.
I dont really need any fancy schmancy stuff here...if I can just play WoW at a constant 20-30fps and go about daily normal internet activities, then kickass, thats all I want/need. I'm what you would call a computer n00b...Another thing is, I DO NOT want Vista, I want to stay with XP.
So what all would I need to accomplish this? I was just thiking about getting a decent mother board and a decent video card, and maybe upping to 2gigs of ram or so. What would you reccomend for my situation?
