This build will serve pretty much one function: playing video games. More specifically it will be able to run World of Warcraft (WoW), Entropia and Civilization 5 at the very least. Here’s what each game takes to run.
WoW (minimum):
- Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500+
- 1 GB or more of RAM
- NVIDIA® GeForce® FX or ATI Radeon™ 9500 video card or better
- 25.0 GB available HD space
- 4X DVD-ROM drive (Downloadable Installer also available)
- Broadband Internet connection
- Keyboard/mouse
Entropia (high):
Internet Connection: ADSL or better
Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7
Computer Processor: Intel Core duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2 Series or better
Computer Memory: 2048 MB RAM or more
Graphics Card (with latest drivers): NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Series or better / ATI Radeon 2900 series or better.
DirectX: Version 9.0c or later
Sound Device: Direct X compatible sound device
Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels
Hard Drive Space: 10 GB of free space
Civilization 5 (recommended):
- Operating System: Windows Vista SP2/ Windows 7
- Processor: 1.8 GHz Quad Core CPU
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Hard Disk Space: 8 GB Free
- DVD-ROM Drive: Required for disc-based installation
- Video: 512 MB ATI 4800 series or better, 512 MB nVidia 9800 series or better
- Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatibile sound card
- DirectX: DirectX version 11
I copied and pasted the system requirements from each of the websites that gave the most information, WoW as you’ve noticed, doesn’t label everything like the next two games, leaving you having to figure out what each item is. Not that it is difficult, but at a glace I can compare processors between Entropia and Civilization 5 where I have to spend an extra second finding it for Wow. Also, the WoW recommended requirements leave out a few things.
I’ll be looking to Civilization 5 as a base point seeing as it has higher recommended requirements then other two games, which will only make the gaming experience better all around.
