Hello again everybody, i'm not really sure what to buy since im not sure whats compatible (since i am a noob, still training (studying IT) and well i dun wanna buy a good graphics card to find out that it doesnt work ><") well since my graphics card is overheating badly with the fan apparently f***ed, i need to buy a new one, thing is i want to find a cheap one (less than 100$) if possible, and that can run WoW in 1060x1280(not sure if that's the right resolution, but i do have a 22" monitor that i want to run WoW in full screen Very Happy) format with at least about 30-50FPS, if that is possible!

if not then please list the price of the card and i'll see what i can do about it, also if possible can you please use this website for price, and what card.:

www . lmc . com . au
^ This is the store closest to my house so yeah.

there is a space between the "." and the letters.
also here are my current computer specs.
Motherboard - ASUS A7V8X-LA
CPU - AMD Sempron 2800+ (2GHz of speed)
RAM - 2GIGs

im not sure what else to list, if anything else is wanted, just leave a message and i will post ASAP!

The best thing I can find compatible with your mobo within that price range is this. It should be able to run WOW alright, but I can't expect it to do too much else.

EDIT: Oops, totally missed the "http://www.lmc.com.au/" part. I strongly doubt that any of the cards on the given website under $100 are capable of running WOW at a 1600x1200 resolution.
EDIT2: Actually, I have no idea what your resolution is set to. Either way, anything >1024x768 on the website won't do a very good job of running wow.

Off that site, this card or this one are just about the only ones. I'd go for the 512MB version, but that's literally the only difference between the two besides the other version being a low-profile video card. The other ATI 9250 is even worse, a lot worse than the 6200 cards. All three of the cards they offer suck by comparison to similarly-priced PCI-e cards, there's not much you can do about that though.

You wont be able to run wow on that CPU.
Not on the specs you want it to run on.

Yeah, I'm thinking Humper's right. Just get a 3450 or maybe a (cheap) 3650 and don't waste a whole lot of money.
