Experienced Gamers, help me solve this problem. This is the computer I want to play WoW on. I want to join in the orgy that is WoW.
Note the RAM, HD, and Graphics card.
Will it work? Will the performance be somewhat smooth? What FPS can I expect? Whatever information you can part with would help greatly. I will be running WoW with settings required for the best performance. (Low Settings.)

Lol should work fine x.x'
You should be able to play on Medium-High settings, I doubt you'll lagg alot.
FPS? I don't know.
You wont have a bad time playing anyway.

re: Hopeful New WoW Player
If your buying that to play WoW..dont bother. 64mb shared vcard will be hell..lagorific. just buy a desktop. I run a amd 64 bit 3500+/1gig/128mb vcard..soon to be a 256mb vcard.

re: Hopeful New WoW Player
So I got two completely different responses. One presumably from a more casual player who enjoys decent performance most of the time..and I'm guessing the other opinion is from a more hardcore gamer who's thinking about 60 Man raids and cities in Huge servers?
Im more of the semi-casual player that has patience, plays on low settings, and plays on not so populated servers (In most MMOS). That is the info I'm looking for. But based on these two different perspectives, Im totally confused.

re: Hopeful New WoW Player
Im not that hardcore for gaming. The servers are really shitty. Prolly using 1980s kmart servers. So hardware is lacking on there side...so youd have to pickup on your side. I have wow installed on my laptop also, oooonly so i can put my alt on autofollow while i use my main on desktop to walk alt somewhere(location/instance). Laptop is a newer dell with a 1.73 pentium and 512mb ram, 64mb vcard and gameplya is horrible even on new servers/small areas and on low graphic settings.

re: Hopeful New WoW Player
The notebook there has 2x more Ram than your laptop, and a bit faster processor. Maybe even more HD, with 120 GB. Plus, it's not a Dell. Being reasonable people, can we perhaps dream that it could perform a little better?

re: Hopeful New WoW Player
To be honest in "WoW" the only 2 real things that matter are RAM+Good Graphics card, sure the GHZ can boost you up, but ive got the following.
512MB Ram.
Nvidia Geforce MX 4000 (Dont laugh, ive not upgraded yet).
AMD Athlon 2900+
2.9GHZ
And ive never encountered a problem ever, not with high end raiding. So, That pc seems good but i prefer desktops, they're more reliable.

re: Hopeful New WoW Player
A Barton core with a 400MHz FSB and 512KB cache at 2.9GHz? Uh, no?
That laptop will barely run the game, 64MB of shared video memory will be horrendous. I am a hardcore, yes, but even a casual player wouldn't be able to play enjoyably with that.
