PowerMac forum:

My current (out of date) desktop is a

MDD G4 1.25DP / 2Gb RAM / Leopard / 24" DVI monitor / ATI Radeon 9200 64Mb.

WOW runs fine I think, but

It is my understanding that World of Warcraft is more of a GPU limited than CPU limited game.

I am willing to upgrade my graphics card but don't want to buy a card that is more than what my CPU is capable of pushing information too..

So ATI 9600 Pro 256? or will I get even better performance going to a ATI 9800?

Thanks!

a Radeon 9800 (even one with 128MB) will annihilate any 9600.
