So I bought world of warcraft and its slow as hell when I play it. I don't know if its my graphics card or RAM or both that need to be upgraded. I only have 256mb RAM and I'm not sure what my graphics card is because I don't know how to check that kind of stuff, though i doubt its good because I use a 2002 dell. So I want to know which new parts I need to buy to make this game run smoothly. HELP ME!!!

Posting your specific computer specs and connection speed would be helpful.

What graphics card are you using? I also believe that the minimum requirements are 256 megs of Ram so... Try putting the graphics to low, shadow details/other visual details off.

Your connection is pretty low by the way.

Well more RAM will deffinently help.

If I found the right PC, then you have a nVidia GeForce4 MX graphics card. I don't know if that is usable, but I'd guess you could possibly play with it.

Try updating the drivers for it. Look into upgrading that if you can.

Well the box says 2 class or above :p
any recomendations on which graphics card to get? I don't need a super good one, just one good enough to make WoW run smoothly.
