Warcraft:The Frozen Throne

[player_of_volleyball]

If I remember correctly, this is the 3rd of the seris.

My friend had this a few years back and I really liked it, but couldnt get it myself because didn't really have a computer at my house for "video games". The comp at my house is used less now and I was thinking about getting this game. Now I'm not computer savey when it comes to comp games. So my question is what would be a good comupter to run that game on?

I'm not really sure how to word my question, because like I said I'm not computer savey. Does anyone here understand that and able to help me?

I said make because it costs less to buy separate parts for a good computer than to buy one. However, it would require you to do a some research and learn how to put a computer together.

intel celeron CPU 2.4 Ghz - would that work?

224 Mb RAM- and that is how much we have on the comp installed

if I install the game would it make my computer run really slow if I use the minimal amount of RAM?

EDIT: also, do I need the first two versions to play this one because it is a upgrade? or can I just play it as a game itself

You definitely want so more ram, and a better cpu. You don't have to get Warcraft 1 or 2, just warcraft 3 and the expansion (frozen throne). If you get the battlechest it comes with both the game and the expansion.

gotcha,

well i cant really get either of those things, prolly till I move out of my parents house.

going on 17 and all.

but thanks a lot for your help, def got some positive rep. coming your way

Yea, one good thing about blizzard games is that they run excellent on mediocre computers. Probably one of the reasons they sell so many games! I'll reiterate what donaldb said. You'll need some more RAM, at least 512 to run Warcraft III. I'm gonna diassagree about the CPU though. I ran WCIII perfectly on my old HP which only had a 800MHz CPU. It ran fine. Although Celeron's are weak processors you should be fine in that department. No need to upgrade the CPU in my opinion.

I know this will probably sound really bad, but how do I get more RAM on my computer?

These might help you out if you've never done it before. It's probably the easiest upgrade you could give a computer.

How to Install RAM (http://www.ehow.com/how_895_install-ram.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art)
How to Install RAM II (http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/hack-attack-how-to-install-ram-138665.php)

You can use this site to see what kind of RAM you need and your RAM capacity. http://www.crucial.com/# . Just click on SCAN MY SYSTEM and download and run the .exe that prompts you. It's safe so don't worry about that.
