would the HP Mini 311c not run WoW? can be had for under £300, supports up to 3gb ram, has AMD chip and LE ION graphics, (can be haxed to make full ION) and generally oc'ed to around 1.9 or 2ghz? there is a thread in laptops but i cant be bothered looking atm, going to do more work
Anyhow goodluck
and Happy Christmas!It doesn't really have to be portable or anything would like a decent sized screen though as i would be using it in my house mostly anyway.
All i want really is a laptop that can run wow on low - mid settings with a decent Fps and possible some other games on low settings nothing like Cod and such.
Could possibly stretch to about £350.
