Which Upgrade should i go for if i want to run around Dalaran

[hUi33]

you guys are silly.
You realize WoW isnt the only thing running on your comp right?

and you have many other procceses running?
such as Explorer.exe?
and many other processes like even windows it self!
Thats where the rest of your ram is going!
To feed your other computers proccesses!
OTHER WISE YOUR COMPUTER WOULD EXPLODE.
so more RAM is in order.
6-12gb is a great amount.

trust me, the bros and sis here ain't silly, we are just just chatting and exchanging info.

the one who is silly is you, as u assume u know everything and we dun :thumbup:

5 wows, 4 slaves = 15fps, main = 30fps + terrain distance= max

8gb + 512video+ quad processor will do fine in dalaran (not perfect, just fine)

:thumbsup:

finally i mange to upgrade my ram to 8GB.

and yes, 8 GB and 15 Fps is the way to go.

Now i can successfully load at dalaran on its busiest days!

There will be still lags and etc, but its shld be within the acceptable range!

Thanks all the Bros and Sis for info!!!

They broke something in 3.1 because I used to run my 5 guys through Dalaran easily and now its a slideshow. I changed nothing on my PC except the WoW build.

I have a feeling Dalaran is so slow because it's so small. Too much crap going on in such a little area it forces everything to be loaded/cached since its considered close by to your character.

Just so you know, you need to run a 64 bit OS to use more than 3.2gb of RAM.

Go into your video options and check out the new things added :S some may be turned on by default? (Playing one character on Ultra settings makes my pc QQ in dalaran lol)

According to that link the best you'll get is 4GB on a non-server 32bit OS with PAE enabled. I'd still go for 64bit.

apparently getting an SSD and putting the data directory on it and symlinking fixes all issues in dalaran including global warming and world hunger
