Just ordered my new laptop and was wondering how well it will run WoW.

Specs:

AMD Turion(TM) II Dual-Core Processor M520 (2.3GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)
3GB RAM
250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
ATI Radeon(TM) HD 4200 Graphics

Keep settings low to medium.

You have a mid-range dual core, and an integrated graphics card which isn't the greatest - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-...ist.844.0.html

Ideally to run wow, you'll want your card to be around #66 or better. Your card is # 148

Thanks for the reply. One more question tho, with my settings to around medium, how much fps will i be getting in general?

[Resa]

Depends..

If you disable a lot of the Vista features, you'll get a higher fps.
Probably aim for about 30fps not in raid.

My alternate machine is a quad 2.4 with a better graphics card, and gets about 5fps in raids with min settings - hubby uses that one and has recount running, and a few combatlog addons.. Combatlog addons tend to bog down the fps.

Thanks again. Will be using Windows 7 tho.

Edit: With windows 7 how much will the fps get at? Sorry but i wont be starting back for another 2 months or so and im a tad bit anxious ><
