I have a laptop with integrated graphics (GM950) and 1024x600 screen.

There seems to be a problem of WOW running at about 1 frame a second on certain systems in vista. Its not the hardware as it runs the same at full detail or lowest.

There seems to be a lot on the net about it, does anyone know of a solution or if anyone has the problem here.

Would love to play on there from time to time.

Thanks.
 
I think integrated graphics take their memory from the PC's main RAM, so therefore are not as fast as a "proper" graphics card.
 
The integrated graphics is more than capable of running WOW in XP. It is a vista issue.
 
Is it running windowed, or full screen? Do you have msn messenger running or any kind of other window around? I know that on mine (which isn't integrated) if there's ANY kind of overlap of a window over/under WOW it crawls at about 1fps.
 
I had a huge problem with WOW on my laptop with Vista and integrated Intel graphics.

Downloaded the latest drivers from Intels site but wouldn't let me install them so had to uninstall the drivers currently there, bang on the new ones and now almost constant steady 30fps with everything turned on.

Cool, where did you get them from?
