Which Laptop Card?

4570 is par on par with the 9600, if you want a graphics card that will play high end games with decent settings 4650 is the best choice.

4650
Crysis: 1024x768, high: 32 fps -> playable
GTA 4: 800x600, min: 46 fps -> fully playable
Call of Duty 4: 1280x1024, high: 30 fps -> playable with stuttering
Racedriver GRID: 1280x1024, high, 2xAA: 40 fps -> fully playable
F.E.A.R. 2: 1024x768, medium, 2xAA: 50 fps -> fully playable

list of laptop graphics, acending with the most powerfullest.

WoW is very processor & memory hungry, so Graphics card should be reasonable, but not at the expense of the CPU.

Having the wow client on an external 7200 drive can help loading times if the laptop HDD is a bit slow.

Im running 9800m gt sli, not bad. Its worth spending a bit more as you will not be able to upgrade in future.
also the max fps on crysis was achieved with a 3ghz cpu.

Nvidia chipsets have had death issues and the radeon is faster. Would be a clear choice for me unless the laptops have very different specs.
