World Of Warcraft
Submitted by Anonymous on 2007-03-06 08:44:12 This product has a rating of 3 out of 5 running under Windows Vista Comments: AMD64 3400+ Socket 939 Asus A8V Deluxe 2GB Kingston DDR400 3 - Seagate 320GB Sata 2 - Seagate 300 IDE XFX GeForce 6600GT (NVidia Chipset) Windows Vista Business I had no problems with Vista in general. I also had no problems with WoW in general. The only problem was communicating with Voice Chat while playing WoW - Instead of using ventrillo (because we get a 3 - 5 second deley with ventrillo), we use AIM Voice Messaging, Yahoo Voice and MSN Voice chat. All 3 programs would work fine prior to the game starting, after loading the game (meaning when the actual network connection is established with Blizzard), I would suddenly start breaking up and the other party could not hear me. I upgraded my internet package with Time Warner, thinking that the problem was with my carrier. I upgraded from 7 Down/512k up to 10 Down/815k up. That was not the problem. I used all current versions of the programs and still the same problem even if I am not in a city this would happen. To test if Vista was the cause (please note I used a clean install of Vista initially), I formatted and installed Windows XP Pro sp2. I installed the apps reloaded WoW and no problems at all. If I know a better alternative, I would have kept Vista but I needed the voice chat while playing the game so XP for me until Vista is working better. I may try Windows XP-64 this weekend since I have not heard of any issues with WoW and XP-64. |
