Okay,


My computer lags so much when I try to play world of warcraft...everything seems to be very gray too. I even tried to play Second Life and I couldn't move at all.

I have a computer it's a 2000 windows xp, 512 mb ram (I updated it to 1G) Basically what I would like to know is what exactly do I need in my computer so it can handle Massive Multi-Player games?


Thank you

Use this to determine what parts of your computer are too slow:

I guarantee the plugin/java applet is safe.

If you are above the recommended specs, you may be running too many programs in the background. Every icon at the right side of your taskbar takes up RAM and CPU time, and slows down the game. Follow my guide here to remove those and other memory-wasters:
