World of Warcraft on Asus Eee PC

[frankjuuh]

Dude, the specs of this little baby are pretty horrible compared to the more recent Eee PC's. I can't help but feel a little skeptic about how smoothly WoW runs on this older version. Does WoW really require so little of your system's resources?

[Trazor2k0]

is it any harder setting up wow on an asus eee pc?

[gameboymd1]

wats the video memory on that system?

[elwido]

zero

[gtatec9]

cant say for sure, but last time i checked most Eee's have a GMA950 with 64MB shared memory

[DeltaPkzOwn]

hey i got the exactly same eee pc as u but i havnt got a real desktop i got a blue screen with tabs up the top saying like internet, learn, work, play and shit lyk that, how i gget a real desktop?

[RobinKaja]

Install Windows XP

[ayala114]

sounds like linex to me ... or whateveer it is

[mxkidda2k8]

its Linux xandros

[mxkidda2k8]

or a bag of shit

[Kin632]

That's a matter of opinion.

[BSKodakMomentKS]

you have one of them running a version of linux..this one is probably running xp

[Dunnerstall]

I copied WoW to and external hardrive to my asus eee 1000h, and played it but im only getting 5fps.. Would i get more if i actually installed it rather than copying the folders? Thanks, Dustin

[hydzior]

Thats almost normal framerate on atom based devices . Just try tu turn everything to low details ,maybe you'll gain +5 fps more .

[pecavuk]

On open areas you can achieve 25-30fps,otherwise in detailed and crowded places you will fall down to just a few frames,which is not so bad when you're supposed to get from point A to B.

[Glasby1992]

did you simply plug the Removable HD in and click wow exe and it loaded up and you stared playing or is it more difficult?

[mayney1222]

vista is a horrible ram hog, my says that vista anf my internal gfx card are currently stealing about 600mb of my 2 gb, btw what fps and lat did you get

[Gerro15A]

game plays so much nicely if you turn settings all down/off and cap the fps. I got WoW running nicely on wine.

[reddragon2359]

why when i can run wow full graphics with new shadows and 1920x1080 with caped FPS

[warprivate123]

im gonna get a 512 mb ram computer do you think it will run wow and spore without lag?

[tommytwin24]

depends on the graphics card... might not run at all. is this a used computer?

[warprivate123]

no its new

[warprivate123]

no new but im getting a different 1 it has 2 nvida geforce 9400 graphics cards 1 with 512  mb of ram and the other gots 1g plus the computer itself has 1gb of ram

[pencilsandrocks]

it will def lag. cuz even tho those games take up exactly 512 mb ram, your Operating system (Windows XP, Linux, Ubuntu, Vista etc..) takes up some of the ram. so it would lag terribly. Vista is a RAM hog.

[pivothampster]

dude 512 mb i can bearly run it on my 829mb i no its crap u need atleast 1g

[Karatewolf1]

thats the minimum 512mb

[Maxed23]

how did you install the game?

[19minibowser90]

read the discription, he used a external disk

[FredrikEastling]

yeah. just got mine. gonna get my flash drive to boot XP now mohaha

[IgorGiganskiANtiatom]

bloody xp's on this eee sucking all the resources test it with xubuntu linux and wine and it will run sharp!

[FredrikEastling]

U think i can put WoW on a FTP server and play on one of these?

[IgorGiganskiANtiatom]

sounds challenging...

[ferrarikidpimp]

Put it on a shared network drive insteed. And if your not connected to the network that you want to play from, use a VPN.

[Nonamekroon]

Cool! it runs quite smooth.

[firstherp]

What model is that?

[hansanity]

it says 701 in the description.....WoW

[cox3110]

you dont need a external hard drive my mate installed it on it, it worked perfectly

[LatratoUrlante]

Lol how do you suppose to install 8+ giga of data on a 4 gb disk?

[zordon3]

I was thinking that it would be easy to play wow on this by using and external hard drive.

[chezypuf11]

i dont get this...

[FredrikEastling]

It is a small PC. A umpc`(Look it up) and... Whatever u'll ´never get it.

[musicvideojudge3]

yeah im egttin 2 gbs (my max mb of 2048) installed and im gettin a Nvidia GeForce 5500 256 mb card, right now i play on a trial lol and it kicks me off and screen goes blue b/c i have the integrated 512, i cant wait to upgrade!

[metalgear20]

how did you make your 800x600 resolution for a full screen size?

[buffardo]

one guy from a different video clip said that you could change the resolution to any size you want on the registration... i tried mine but i don't seem to find the option for adjusting the resolution...still running on 800x600 resolution...how i wish someone could give an easier way to solve this without hacking the bios. I just love my eee pc so much that I won't make some risky MODs.

[satisflash]

You can change WoW's resolution to 800x480 by editing 3 digits in World Of Warcraft/WTF/Config.wtf

[Sadman35]

haworths4eva, you do not need more ram. look on the back of the WoW box it says a min of 512 ram is needed

[itsawooha]

MORE RAM IS ALWAYS NEEDED.

[cox3110]

how did you install windows xp on your eee pc

[haworths4eva]

There's a pretty comprehensive guide in the official eeepc manual. It requires an external dvd drive. There are methods for installing from a usb flash drive, check out the eeeuser wiki.

[cox3110]

how did you install that

[haworths4eva]

The Eee is running Windows XP, so i just copied over the World of Warcraft install directory from my desktop machine to the laptop's external hdd and ran it directly from there, after editing the config file to force the game to the correct resolution.

[Chintendoeddman]

@cox3110 you can use and external cd drive that plugs in over usb

[haworths4eva]

nLite'd Windows XP

[Romanticide5]

Interesting, that runs quite well.

[haworths4eva]

I actually realised after recording this that i had restarted my Eee and forgotten to clock the CPU back up, so it was running at the default 630mhz. When i did up it to 900, it ran even better - 30fps average when questing, and staying above 10fps in busy cities. :-)

[IndeviousEmo]

hey i have win xp pro on mine and a 500gb external usb 2.0 hard rive and a usb 2.0 dvd drive for my eee pc and i want to install wow and burning crusades on it but how can i clock my eee pc to 900mhz?? please help me

[haworths4eva]

Google "eeectl" - that small utility will let you dynamically alter your cpu speed and monitor temperature.
