    I just got a desktop with
    1TB harddrive
    6GB DDR3 RAM

    It's a gateway.
    Chances are I still can't play WoW, right?

    CPU ?
    graphic card ?

    Seeing 6GB means the pc is not old at all so I guess yeah, but again, integrated GPU is the worst thing to work with.

    My computer can handle WoW while running all of the following, condition zero, aim, msn, yahoo messengers, watch a movie, run a antivirus scan and burn a dvd. Only thing it doesn't do it cook and clean or else it's out with the girlfriend LOL xD
