    Computer help

    Hey there MMO Champ. Long time reader, first time poster! If this isnt in the right forum, I appologize!

    Anyways, I just bought a new machine to run WoW in. Lately I've been receving alot of lag during 25 mans and in Dalaran in general.
    Here are the specs of the machine I bought.

    Brand HP
    Series Pavilion
    Model P6127C(NP249AAR)
    Recommended Usage Home / Home Office
    Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200(2.33GHz)
    Processor Main Features 64 bit Quad-Core Processor
    Cache Per Processor 4MB L2 Cache
    Memory 6GB DDR2 800
    Hard Drive 750GB 7200RPM SATA
    Optical Drive 1 DVD Super Multi
    Graphics Integrated Intel GMA 3100
    Audio Sound card - Integrated
    Ethernet Integrated 10/100/1000 Base-T network interface
    Power Supply 300W
    Keyboard HP USB keyboard
    Mouse HP USB optical mouse
    Operating System Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    Just wondering if this is good enough to run WoW and do 25 mans with a bunch of add ons without a problem.

    Your graphics card is what holding your system back imo. Turn your graphics down/buy a new one and you should run everything perfect.

    That is the spec of the machine I just bought. Not my current one. Is the graphic card not good enough? Should I buy a new one?

    You don't have a graphics card. You have onboard graphics processing on the motherboard.

    As has been said, you don't have a 'dedicated' graphics card. This kills your FPS, even in wow.

    I recommend an ATI 5750, should be budget and will be great for gaming.
    Lag - Network related. High server response time, stop downloading.
    Low FPS - Your computer can't keep up with the game - buy a better one

    Dalaran doesn't lag (often) your pc just sucks.
