hey all im thinking of using wow on my laptop and just wondered how you think it will perform rather than spend ages insalling and updating as it takes ages. the screen is 1680x something. its quite high for a laptop and its widescreen. FF11 ran med settings ok at that res i just wonder how wow will do.

laptop is 3400+ amd64
512mb ram
gf4 64mb 440go

thanks :)
 
Should run fine, I run it on my handheld Samsung Q1 with 900Mhz celeron and Intel 915 graphics.
 
It'll probably struggle at 1680x1050, but bump down the res and it'll be fine. You really could do with a bit more RAM in there though.
 
i conidered more ram but as the laptop was vv.v.vcheap (300quid off ebay and then HP replaced it with this 3400+ which for 2years ago was awesome the dabs invoice came it was 1350quid, free lol).
But it has 2x256 sticks and one is under the keyboard its a very wierd layout.
 
i tried running wow on my centrino with an x700 256mb and 512 ddr2 memory and it ran like rubbish! Not sure if it was the lack of ram or what but im pretty sure you need 1gb+ of system ram for the game to run smooth

Can you explain what you mean? It had an ATI x700 in it...

??? I was under the impression that Centrino meant low-power Intel CPU, graphics, and WLAN card. If you had Intel graphics that would mean that you did not have dedicated graphics processing and memory. Is this naming convention no longer the case?
 
As far as i know centrino was the latest intel cpu for laptops previously to core2duo. Maybe you are thinking about the celeron chips with lower onboard cache on the chips?

No, Centrino was a package of chipset, Pentium M CPU (later Core CPUs), and WLAN chipset. Centrino has NEVER referred just to a processor.

I never knew that, all that marketing made me think it was the name of the chip itself! should have done some research into it instead of just reading centrino cpu instore... Anyways it had pci express and an x700 :) its a
