Hello,

Later in the year i'll be looking for a laptop to replace my hulking desktop pc. Budget will be around £500 so may well wait for the new year sales in 2008 to maximise value for money!

My main query is about graphics. I've seen some laptops as having Intel UMA 950 graphics. But I can't find this chipset on intels' website...only GMA 950.

Are they one and the same thing or are they quite different? The main thing I'll want the laptop to run is WoW so it'll need hardware transform and lighting at the bear minimum, and preferably pixel and vertex shaders capabilities as well (which the GMA 950 has).

Thanks in advance
 
my gf got a laptop with very similar to this intel 950 graphic, it's poo. i cannot play any games on it. not even very basic games. you'll regret buying any laptop with basic intel 950 gfx for WoW
