can i run WoW smoothly if i get this cpu?

Stop saying your age, it's not important.. Im 15 and know quite alot about computers.. I even built my own and sold on Ebay for cheaper then that dell you want ( Im not greedy so I dont charge $80000 on a computer ) so just beacuse you are young doesnt mean you are a dumb

But you also have to realize that some people just are not confortable with building their own PC.

They just need to be "educated". One of these days I'm gonna teach my younger brother how to build a computer, whether he likes it or not.

Lol.. Force him to learn, he looks away or gets distracted.. you smack him with a RAM card xD

Well, TimeParadox is absolutely correct- if captainsanta's only reservations on building his own PC is his age, then he should push that misconception aside.

Obviously, if captainsanta doesn't feel comfortable, is disinterested or otherwise does not WANT to build his own PC, then that's his right and his choice.

But realize this- I know a LOT of really tech-savvy youngin's from the ages of 12-19 that can build and work on PC's every bit as good as senior's twice their age. So if age is the only concern, a strapping young 13-year old who is interested in such things... it's a great opportunity. Heck, building plastic models or model airplanes is aimed at the 10-15 age group and snapping together a PC is much easier than that. hehe. No glue, fumes, mess or decals that never seem to stick on straight.

But it's understandable if you're not interested. You CAN save a lot of money, get a better/upgradeable system, learn a TON about the PC itself in a way to be better equipped to handle problems and upgrades down the road.. as well as find it enjoyable if you're into that sort of thing or building stuff.. but unlike plastic models, I wouldn't recommend blowing it up with firecrackers once yer done as it's a bit too pricey for that.

Did anyone answer your question, or is everyone so hell bent against Dell they tried to talk to you out of it?

Yes, that computer will run smoothly.

I ran WoW on my 1.5Ghz Pentium M laptop with 1GB memory, 80GB drive and a descrete 64MB ATI Radeon 9200. LoL. It was pretty smooth.

Graphics were never an issue - everything on medium and had pretty good frame rates most of the time. My desktop, which was an Athlon 2800+ with a Radon 9600XT and 1.5GB of RAM ran it like butter.

But you're way better off not investing in WoW and going outside to live your real life.

I'm 14 and I have been building computers since I was 12. It's really not very hard at all. People who have no clue about building a PC sometimes think it takes weeks to build one because of the fact that you have to build everything inside. Really this is not true. You just buy the parts pre-made and assemble them. I think you can do it.

LOL what the hell is a RAM card?


That computer can run wow perfectly. My system isn't all that great and it runs WoW on full settings at 12x9 at 40FPS (unless theres server lag).

That's cool, I started building like a year ago or so..

and for the Ram Card thing I said.. ( actualy ment to say videocard xD ) I dont really recommend you guys listen to the random stuff I say because I get on at like 5 in the morning and I dont really pay attention to what I write =P

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the computers short-term memory, where code and other things used by the currently running applications are stored. The RAM is erased when the computer is turned off.

DDR400 is supposed to run at 200Mhz NOT 400Mhz.

ok so you giys have officially talked me out of buying that dell, im going to start looking into buying my own pc
