Wife & I play WoW; have so since Jan. 05' ~ Now we have far exceeded the timeline in which to get my wife alittle upgraded (New PC) to pass the hours. She has played on an old Compaq Persario R3000 w/128MB ATI Raedon along with a monitor / keyboard /mouse attached from the begining ~ @ a mere 7-15fps (ouch)

Now... our budget permits us to be spending no more than $600. Ive seen some @ the $450 range @ the local Best Buy and there is a PCI-Expressx16 slot avail should we decide to fill / use it.

Now I know thats a fairly low number however my logic in this was we could get her a *Turn Key PC that comes with an OS ( Which we dont have a spare laying around) ) thats is of newer technology then what she been using.

She doesnt play anything besides WoW; and considering she still stills down and plays alittle every evening after work @ her 7-15fps...anything would be better

Am I wrong? or perhaps could someone provide alittle more insight and or suggestions.

Greatly appreciated :hello:
