If you are a true Classic Purist then you can not play on your current PC.

Since these "purist" keep making comments and raging about the most small changes some may want to the classic servers. They clearly don't realize they are not "purist" at all.

Unless you are playing the classic server on a Pentium III/IV computer and 1GB-2GB of DDR ram while running on Windows 2000/XP then you are not the purist you claim to be.

Edit: Also you will have little addon support and can only use addon's that worked back then.

More importantly, play on a single 4x3 monitor , no dual monitors.

LOOOOOL. Every time I'd go to Ironforge (the true Alliance capital in Vanilla imo), my computer would lag so hard I'd end up falling in the pit below the bridges. Getting to the AH or the Bank was a nightmare. I spent most of my time in the PVP area anyway.

If i download enough viruses/malware to slow my computer down to 2006 levels can i be considered a "purist" then?

And that's when someone suggested upgrading from 0.5 to 1 gig of RAM.
Lol, those memories.

I agree. You should play on a PC that lags during raids, or you should have to pay several hundred dollars the incur the financial burden that was Old School raiding.

Man I remember when I upgraded to 1GB of Ram back in the day. I was sooo happy LOL.

I kept my old computer just for this day, hoping it would come! Can't wait to break out my Pentium 4 Northwood system again!

[Eleccybubb]

Nah man.

Windows 98 or no deal.

And yes WoW did used to run on Windows 98/ME.

I'll need to get rid of my broadband and get DSL back as well

[Echo of Soul]

I'm gonna attempt to chemically induce amnesia so that the experience will be new, if you don't you're not a purist and can go play retail, classic obviously isn't for you :P
