I have a um.. few PC’s .. I actually have to get rid of them sometimes, I collect them like some people collect garbage… After a year or 2 I usually have a stack as tall as me and most dont work..
Thats how I got the Beater, it’s a laptop my brother had salvaged from his work, then the Motherboard on it popped. He asked if I could fix and I tried, but no dice, he said trash and I put it in my closet instead, about 6 months later I found a Mobo for it, and Viola.. cheap laptop. It’s more or less equivelent to a Dell D-600.
Anyhoo.. it recently ran a Windows OS and on a whim I put WoW on it to see if it would run, and it did pretty slowly, but it did.. I have other wow machines… so i removed it.. then later on installed Linux on it (Linux Mint), I was curious to see if Wine has realy gotten better as they say…
All I seriously had to do was copy over the WoW Folder from my Vista64 machine, and it started right up.. a little artifacting, so I lowered all the video Res, and ran it in Full screen.
I have no real plans to play it.. but it was nice to see it work.
