I've been on World of Warcraft for more than 24 hours combined now since Thursday after the exam. Had some fun all day long until, earlier today, my friend successfully demostrated the worst kind of lag I've had ever since. My computer froze and all my senses could absord was the sound of the game; the frame rate was practically 0.

Frustrated, I logoff from Warcraft a few hours later and went to newegg.com, Price Watch and amazon.com to do price comparison for two components: memory and video card. (Google is a darling too, I say. Go Gooooooooooooooooooogle.)

The choice for memory is never a problem. I've always trusted Crucial Technology and so, I went straight for it. I saw other like Kingston and Corsair but I rather not face any difficulty with compactibility - inside my computer, I already have a Crucial's 256MB DDR.

The main issue is the video card. I must admit, I've been lagging with news and improvement in graphics - too many economics make me forget other stuff. The last time I read about video cards in the news was when ATi Radeon 9700 was the king. Right now, I'm not sure who's the king but I didn't know that there is a GeForce 6 out there. It seems right now, Radeon XT is the best right now but, I don't really know and all I want to do is play World of Warcraft.

I considered ATi Radeon 9700, which cost roughly $150. However, I was in the idea that that was an overkill. All I want to do with a new graphic card is to play World of Warcraft, not Half-Life 2 or Doom 3. Besides, my motherboard only support AGP 4x. Still, I might upgrade my mobo in the near future so...

So, I considered a GeForce...

Brb! (or maybe not) Gotta log into Warcraft now! The urge is too great to resist!
