World's First PC Designed Specifically for World of Warcraft

Post by Dragon_Cooler »

“WidowPC, the industry's leading gaming computer boutique, launched the world's first gaming computer designed especially for World of Warcraft players. The PC hardware and software is optimized to play World of Warcraft at the best possible performance and detail. The new machine sports a new form of intelligent networking technology that greatly reduces that amount of lag experienced by the player in World of Warcraft and other massively multiplayer online (MMO) games.
Most of our engineering staff are World of Warcraft players and have been designing PC's for their friends," said WidowPC CEO Joshua McClure. "Our customers said we should offer an affordable machine that plays World of Warcraft exceptionally well.

This new 'Killer NIC' online gaming accelerator allows us to design a great system for World of Warcraft players with $1,495 that will play World of Warcraft with the online performance of a much more expensive system."

That has to be the biggest piece of marketing crap that I've seen in a long time. $1500 for that machine is laughable.

AMD processors, an ultra 500W PSU (not enough) and a Killer NIC graphics card... kick someone if they are thinking of buying that junk. For $1500 you can build a system that would kill that one. And like someone already mentioned socket 939... come on that is old school now!
