With that being said, is there anyone here who has upgraded their PB video card and seen a good increase in performance? Furthermore, if you did upgrade what did/would you upgrade…

You can't upgrade the video cards in PowerBooks. They're soldered onto the main board. The most you could hope for is a logic board swap with a newer model, but there may be inte…

Key thing you want to do is drop the terrain distance as low as you can. Because it's a circle around you the increase in distance is exponential. That load hit's your CPU. I had t…

Thanks for all your help so far everyone! I am in the market for a new desktop as I do a lot of video editing and such - If any of you have a G5 PowerMac or iMac could you please p…

Is turning down your draw distance a good idea when raiding, really? I always have mine maxed. Seems like you would spend a lot of time loading as people came in and out of your …

Raiding performance is terrible right now. When the honor system debuted Tuesday, there were 200+ people in Tarren Mill. I have a dual 2GHz G5 with 2GB of RAM and a Radeon 9800, …

Are you guys aware that when WoW 1.3 came out, something "broke?" It's documented in the WoW technical forums. After the patch that fixed lag in small places (ie, Ironforge) came…

i had a 1ghz g4 sawtooth with 896 ram and a 9000pro. ran great with everything at low graphics@ 1600x1200 20-30 fps. i think a desktop computer would be best for playin wow. wow…

It should say right on the box: You preferable need a Power Mac G5 with upgradable GPU to play this game. It doesn't matter how I tweak the graphic settings with my FX 5200/64 MB …

Ed's a dual 1G G5 with teh mid-grade card from 1yr ago and he runs WoW FINE. I load the auctioin house and IF with no problems. that said, the gig and a half of ram makes a HUGE d…

ive had 4 different graphics cards in while playing wow. each on made not much of an effect on fps. basically just let me run higher resolutions a lil better add more detail woul…

My PC plays WoW fine with everything maxed. I still lag at times, but that's usually because the system starts to page a lot. I reboot, purge the RAM, and everything is perfect. Pu…

pc's nativily run WoW better than macs. but building a pc just to play the game is not seem worth it to me. all the other crap you have to deal with on a pc that i dont on my mac…

In OS X, VRAM is not split evenly. Each display uses only as much VRAM as it needs. It's been like that since 10.0. I don't know why System Profiler still displays the memory as…

Consider it something new you just learned. I learned of it back in the 10.1.x days when one of the ATI engineers corrected me in the OpenGL development mailing lists. Quote fr…

The game runs fine on my 1.5ghz 128vram powerbook from the last generation. I have all my settings maxed w/ distance all the way down. I believe I also have AA turned off. I oft…
