How to improve my desktop for WoW and Diablo 3?

I have to run WoW and Diablo 3 with the minimum settings and even in a full environment (25 man raid (WoW) or 4 person group (D3)) I will still lag and it causes problems. So I am trying to determine where I need to get upgrades. And if it will be cheaper to buy the upgrades itself or if I just need to invest into an entire new desktop all together.
Computer specs: 
Manufacturer: Dell
Model: Vostro 220
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU
     E1200 @ 1.60 GHz
Memory (RAM): 2.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 3450
If there is any other information needed to help my situation please post and request such.
I am simply trying to find out if I can go out and buy updates for my computer to make it run these games better.
I am quite worried for when WoW: Mists of Pandaria is released if my computer will even be able to handle it.

Hi bleroy524,
You may want to do a complete replacement of your desktop.  Reason being, your processor is kind of low and it may be hard to upgrade other components with it to make that much improvement.
If you do decide to do some new PC shopping, I would definitely recommend perusing our selection on BestBuy.com.
Discrete Graphics Desktops on BestBuy.com
I find the "Narrow Your Results" filters on the left side of the site to be very useful to only show products with the features I'm interested in. 
Hope that helps!

  • TS2621 I have a Mac desktop for home and recently bought new iPhone 4s. I was receiving email on both, but all of a sudden am only receiving email on iPhone and not on iMac at home. How do I remedy this?

    I have an iMac desktop for home and recently bought an iPhone 4s. I was receiving my email on both, but now it only goes to my phone. How do I remedy this?

    My problem is the opposite. My desktop apparently removes the mail from the mail servers before my iPad can read it.
    One of my email accounts is a POP account. mail has a setting to leave the mail on the server, but I can't see that it makes any difference. The mail going to that account still doesn't make it to my iPad. I also have an IMAP account, but I don't see a similar setting.
    I would like to be able to use my desktop as my main email platform, but I also want to see the latest using my iPad when I am traveling.

  • How to partition my drive for  Mac and XP use?  from a novice

    I would like to use my MacBook Pro for both Mac ad PC programs (Office and others) and hear that I can partition the drive.  How is the best way to do that?  Also I have an external Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external drive to set up that supposedly can back up both Mac and PC without formatting each time.  Do I have to partition the drive first?  Do I use Time Machine?

    Is it your intent to run Windows programs on your computer?  If so then this is more than simply a partitioning exercise.
    In order to use an external drive on both Macs and PCs there are two options.  Option One is to partition and format the drive MBP and FAT32, respectively.  OS X can read/write a FAT32 formatted drive.  However, due to filesystem differences some features of the OS X filesystem are not supported by FAT32, so FAT32 is not the best choice for transferring OS X documents, but would be fine for transferring Windows documents.
    Option Two is to partition the drive using GUID then creating two partitions.  One partition is formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled and the other partition is formatted FAT32.  Each partition can be used for the data from the appropriate platform.
    TM is not a file transfer program, cannot be used for Windows documents, and does not work on Windows.
    If you wish to run Windows on your Mac then see the following:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows. You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

    How to improve the speed for backing up files to time capsule via in hose wifi?

    via in hose wifi?
    Use a bigger hose??
    House??
    Need to spell this out a bit more..
    But speed via 2.4ghz to the TC is restricted by Apple to max 130mbps link speed.. much slower actual transfer.. latest TC and laptops can do 450mbps on 5ghz but you need to be up close.. so place the TC near the device using it.. and force 5ghz connection by using a different name for 5ghz network.

  • How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?

    Hi,
    How do we reset password for SAP* and DDIC user in SAP R/3 ECC 6.0?
    I tried with acual method as below from client '000':
    DELETE FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.
    After this when I tried to logon '001' using SAP* with password PASS it is giving  the message that Incorrect logon and password.
    (Also when I checked for 'SAP*' in 001 it looks like it is not got created as I queried as below:
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM USR02 CLIENT SPECIFIED WHERE BNAME = 'SAP*' AND MANDT = '001'.)
    Can anybody throw some light on this? RewardS is guranteed for solutions!
    -B S B

    Hi again:
    I forget to tell.
    You must restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass"
    Hope this wil help,
    Eric

  • How to create custom infotype for training and event management

    hai freinds can any one tell me how to create custom infotype for training and event managment with following fields
    PS No – PA0000-> PERNR
    Name   - PA0001 -> ENAME
    IS PS.No. – PA0001-> PS no. of Immediate Superior
    IS name PA0001 -> ENAME
    thanx in advance
    afzal

    Hi,
    Your question is not clear for me. Since it is a TEM infotype, it could be a PD infotype.
    If you wish to create a PD infotype, use transaction PPCI to create the infotype.
    But before that you need to create a structure HRInnnn (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
    If you wish to create a PA infotype, use transaction PM01 to create the infotype.
    But before that you may be required to create a strcuture PSnnnn  (where nnnn is the infotype number) with all the fields relevant for the infotype.
    Regards,
    Srini

    how to create fxplug transition for xcode and quatrz composer?

    Hi Mohan,
    You have to create and configure your system in the system administration tab in the portal.
    Usually, it looks like the following:
    System from template: JDBC System
    Connector properties
       Connection URL: jdbc:sap:sqlserver://<serverlocation>;DatabaseName=<database name>
       Driver class name: com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    User management properties
       User mapping type: admin, user
    Set the system with an alias.
    Go to user administration tab and map the user with VCRole to the configured system
    (the default for MSSQL is usauly user: sa and pw: admin)
    Save your changes and logon to VC with this user.
    The alias name should appear in your list of systems.
    Hope I helped,

  • How many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

    how many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

    I agree. With a 16 gig you'll find that you only have room for a couple of movies once the operating system and any other apps take up their space.
    The other alternative would be to look into something like a wireless harddrive, where you can store your movies and stream them to your iPad via an app. However if you're purchasing content from iTunes that may/may not work. So if you consider that you may want to dig a little deeper and make sure it'll do what you want it to do.

  • How to improve the performance for integrating third party search engine

    hi,
    I have been working on integrating verity search engine with KM. the performance for retrieving search result totally depend on how many search result returned, for example if there is less than 10 records, it only takes 3 seconds, but if there are 200 records, it takes about 3 minutes, is it normal? anyway to improve it? Thanks!
    T.J.

    Thilo,
    thanks for the response, would you recommend some document for configuring KM cache service, I did change memory cache, and also dynamic web reposity, whatelse out there that I can change? right now, I have one instance(EP6.4 sp11) works well, it returns 200 records from Stellent within 6s. But when I put this KM global service on EP6.0 sp2 (our current system) it takes about 15s. I am not sure is this because of different EP version, or something else. I have tried my best to slim down SOAP component from Stellent. I don't think anything else can be done from that side anymore. before I changed the SOAP, it tooks about 60s. just wonder what else I can do on KM side to improve it performance? Thanks!
