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.
If it can handle 3D etc.
It's a new PC with Vista.. so..

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..

Yes the onboard graphics should handle. Just make sure you have at least 512 ram for the game.
