My Old Pc Needs New Things.

[stoptherockets]

Hello, this is my first post and I don't know too much about computers except all the basics and how to put them together.

I have a old E-Machines W3105 with 2GBs of RAM and I was wondering how I can make it faster still? Is there anyway to make it hold more RAM, and I play World Of Warcraft and it looks horrible. Does anyone know a cheap and decent Video Card for this computer?

thanks

Even if you upgrade the video card, I doubt it will run WoW very well... better off saving for a new machine.

I saw this in a random search and had to reply, as I run the same machine myself.

When I played WoW, I found that a Geforce fx 5500 worked pretty well, and only costs around fifty dollars. It at least ran pretty well with low graphic settings, but I only have a single gigabyte of memory in my computer. That said there are far better video cards if you want it to look pretty, just look for a decent pci card that you like.
