What are your system specs,? What does the game require? How do you connect to the Internet?

To check your system specs, do this for me... Click on Start -> Run... In the run box, type  dxdiag ... You may nee a small gray box appear. Just click on the no button fore now... You will now see a large gray box appear.. This displays all of your system information...

World of Warcraft Requirements:

Windows® System 98/ME/2000/XP OS:

800 MHz or higher CPU
256 MB or more of RAM
32 MB 3D graphics card with hardware transform and lighting, such as GeForce 2 or better
4 GB or more of available hard drive space
DirectX® 9.0c or above
A 56k or higher modem with an Internet connection

---------------------------------------------------------------

Does your computer meet or beat these requirements? I want to know what version of Direct X you have, your video card information, and also what your processor speed is...

Processor information can be found be right-clicking on the My Computer Icon, and clicking on Properties... (Give it a minute to load)

Do you experience lag related issues when playing offline as well?

Tell me about your video card... What do you have? My guess is that your video card does not meet the requirements for the game...

Well, I can't say this for sure, but it sounds like you just need a batter video card... Also, more RAm would be nice as well! Just make sure that your omputer can handle that much RAM, and that it is compatible with your video card...

Also, for the card, I am more interested in how much memory is installed on it rather than the model... Do you know how much memory the card has?

If you experience more problems with your computer, other than with Warcraft, have the computer taken a look at by those who install the new videocard and/or RAM.

If this only applies to World of Warcaft, visit the World of Warcraft forum.
