Every wow glod player tries to make every essential preparation
Now it's the time right before the release of cataclysm, every wow glod player tries to make every essential preparation for cataclysm's coming. When you prepared fully for the release day, do you think about the question that you may be ready for Cataclysm- but is your computer? Since you need to play cataclysm with your computer, never forget to make your computer ready for it too.
Information from Blizzard that "there will be incremental tweaks and updates to the graphics engine in this expansion. For example, we've made improvements to the way that water is rendered. We'll announce the exact system requirements closer to the expansion's release."
Your computer's level is ultimately capped by the monitor you are using. There is no reason to build a $2,000 computer if you are going to hook it up to a 17-inch monitor running a 1280x1024 resolution. To do so would cause a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of computer geeks suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. So before doing any of the upgrades below, make sure you are using a monitor capable of at least a 1680x1050 resolution.
CPU comes in all kinds of sockets and speeds. Before you can upgrade your aging CPU, you need to find out what socket it uses since it can only fit in the socket they were designed for. After you know the socket type of your current setup, which processor should you go with? Multiple benchmark tests have revealed that World of Warcraft mainly only uses two cores. Make sure to select a CPU that uses the same socket type as your current one!
Before clicking the "checkout" button, see if you are still using the factory heatsink that came with your CPU. Factory heatsinks are easy to spot, because they all have Intel or AMD stickers on the fans. If you are still using the factory heatsink, be sure to add a nice aftermarket heatsink to your order.
