Hardware which way to go

[MiRai]

as for DX i running DX10 tryin to do a search for how to change that to 9

In World of Warcraft's Advanced Video Settings. WoW only runs in DX9 or DX11. DX10 is what your card supports, but it can emulate DX11 (not real DX11).

A quick look on Newegg shows that your drive might have a 3 year warranty. You might be able to get it fixed for free...

i don't have no receipts or nothing to go by i was kinda expecting this one not to fail lol but it seems pretty common

thank you

Before you start scratching your head to hard, know that the servers have had serious lag issues the past two weeks.

So if you are coming from the last couple days, keep this in mind. I would not consider right now an "Ideal" bench marking time.

Just an FYI before you go dumping tons of money on parts that will get replaced in a few months.

well i can't afford a whole lot but i tryin to save up for some stuff however i will get what i think i need i had this computer for a while only upgraded the memory and hard drive and OS and i really can't complain about it been a really great computer from systemmax

right now i know my issues are in my hard drive is the slowest thing i got running a sata2 300 mb transfer with 2 1tb hard drives raptors of course and the second thing is my CPU if i have to upgrade it then i have to get a motherboard and memory

before I can 4 box good i mean anywhere not much lag but when i add that fifth person then i get issues of lag its not like super bad and i can really deal with it

another thing too i thinking is i may have set up my ssd up wrong i only had my wow folder on it and not my os and wow folder i think it would have better with the os and wow folder on it at the same time

yea i know about the lag issues i been having them now with just one account i think blizzard is have issues on their end with the combine work of diable and wow together

thank you all for your support

Every expansion increases the requirements.
With MoP coming out soon, you can be fairly sure you'll run a little worse with the same system... but that the eye-candy will be a bit more.

If you're already smooth, or fairly smooth...
Great.

If the system is borderline, consider upgrades.

[Dinazzo]

yea i understand that and i expect that as well i hoping to get back to work soon just right now my money is limited and i just seeing where or what i can do to improve my computer and where it would be best served

I really think i can 5 box with this with most all settings on low as i was able to before till i hit wg when it was the craze 40 vs 40 lol thats when i lag out most so i thinking if i do raids i goin to need to work on improving that part

I got a RMA from patroit so hopeful they will replace my drive

thank you all for support

I just want to give a big shout out to MiRai for telling me about the warranty on the SSD drive, after checking with Patriot they sent me a RMA and told me that they will send me another drive PT2128GS25SSDR(Torqx2) because they no longer make my current drive

Thank you again MiRai

and thank everyone else as well
