Rappelz is I think the most demanding MMO out at the moment. Since it runs at Direct X9 and has some great graphics. Too bad its nice graphics don't make up for its grinding. Still.... I got a 1ghz single core, 512 MB of ram 533mhz, with a GeForce 4MX that runs World Of Warcraft no problem.

We'll continue to ensure that the game is playable on a wide range of hardware. However, we have not made a final determination on the system requirements as yet.

About 600$ after everything. But you could probably cut off another 100$s and still expect to run WoW Lich King.

Any top-end GFX card will run roughshod over WoW, except the 8800. Nvidia and/or Blizzard need to get a fix in because the framerates drop on the 8800.

If you want to run like mad, go with a E8400, a P35 mobo, 2 gigs of RAM,a 3850 or 3870 GFX card (512MB), the nicest monitor you can afford, and a good set of headphones.
