I play WoW on my Gateway laptop, and although it plays well enough, it just doesn't cut it when I get into areas where the strain is too much for my integrated grphx card. Lacking in funds tho, I cant buy a new desktop that will run my WoW with all of the highest settings turned up. My friend is willing to sell me his desktop for 100$. It does not have a PCI-E slot, so im wondering if its not possible for it to run WoW as smoothly as I want.
Dilemma: Save myself 100 bucks and use it towards newer desktop, or buy this desktop, and throw in a ram upgrade/new agp graphics card?
Thanks.
