What do i set the virtual memory to?

jephree · #5 (**permalink**) 03-01-2005, 08:03 AM

start > all programs > accessories > system tools > disk cleanup & disk defragmenter

run them both...

WoW has a min system req. of 256 RAM ... you would be working alot better with 512. If interested let us know & we can show you how to upgrade.

Also is your graphics card 3D? have you directX 9? what is your internet connection?

This from WoW

Windows® System 98/ME/2000/XP OS:

* 800 MHz or higher CPU
* 256 MB or more of RAM
* 32 MB 3D graphics card with hardware transform and lighting, such as GeForce 2 or better
* 4 GB or more of available hard drive space
* DirectX® 9.0c or above
* A 56k or higher modem with an Internet connection
