Question

So I think I found out how much memory i have? I'm not exactly sure but I just tried to play WOW and it lagged a bit and then suddenly it closed out. If I got more memory anyway how would I install it?

- DirectX® 9.0c (included) and latest video drivers

- 6.0 GB available HD space

Just insert it into the extra slot. Make sure it is of the same type as what you have.

Is it a laptop or a desktop?

Answer 4

Well telling how much RAM you have is important. If you still aren't sure, then you can right click the my computer icon and go to properties.

It should say a value in either MB or GB. If it is below 1 GB, I would not recommend playing WoW.

To Upgrade your computer, it all depends on what type of PC or Mac it may be. Please update your comment with this info ^^.
