Advice on this computer system please

Hello all. I was just kinda curious on peoples opinion on a pc that I am considering buying.

First off it can be found here http://tulsa.craigslist.org/sys/918478745.html

I want to know how many WOTLK clients would run smoothly on a system like this.... 3-4??

Also just curious if you think the price is reasonable for it as well.

Thanks in advance for advice

OPERATING SYSTEM: Genuine Windows XP PRO 3

Find out if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. If you have a 64-bit installation CD and key, then go for it. This system could run 3 clients fairly smooth, however the videocard only has 128MB RAM... You may experience some lag here and there w/ 4 clients.

128M video card

:thumbdown: I think that video card is going to be overworked with one copy of WoW let alone 3-4 copies of wow.

I purchased something very similar from gateway and had to upgrade the video card right out of the box because it wouldn't run one copy of wow at 1680x1050 ( I was solo boxing back then and wanted high rez )
It didn't take long for the new video card to fry the power supply.
so after a new video card and a new power supply I have a pretty nice PC but it costs much more than what I thought I was paying. ( at least $300 more, probably closer to $400 more )
