Jayderyu Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hello all, i'm fairly new to the boards. I've been watching the OSx86 project for some months, especialy the WoW threads. Like many i'm pretty tired of XP. My computer is used these days to program in Java or Lua. Now onto the important bit. but I need to be able to run WoW. I enjoy WoW and want to continue playing with her. Due to my fiscal situation money is tight, although I doget to upgrade this month since my current one is dieng. I've gone over the compatibility list quite a bit for 10.4.3 and within my *sigh* limited budget came to a few components that I would like to get peoples thoughts on, since WoW does need to be playable. To me 15fps is fine, that's what my current setup runs at anyway. The store I am going to is NCIX if anyone were to care.

ATI Radeon 9200 with 128mb. I'm just looking for the best WoW setup within $300. And since i've never used Mac and I need to run WoW, I thought this would be the best place to ask. So the final question is Wich will give me the best performance for WoW Hackintosh Also are there any other concerns, would 10.4.4 be better.
