I run wow comfortably with all settings on max-low except particle density, so I don't really care about turning the settings up, I just wanna be lag free. (non-latency) $375.oo USD - Acer Aspire 5534-1096 (wal*mart computer ftw lol) - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit - AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual-core processor L310 (1.20GHz, 1MB L2 cache) - ATI Radeon HD3200 - 4GB memory - 250GB hard drive - 6-cell Li-ion battery ------ ---- -- ---- ------ http://www.wegame.com/forums/Offtopic/Ne... I installed vanilla WoW & TBC without a problem, but when I installed LK I got a warning saying I had an insufficient processor. (yes I installed them all from disks, since I didn't feel like waiting 20 years to download it) I installed anyway, but is this gonna be an issue later, or will there be a way I can tweak it? have been told that wow only utilizes one side of dual-core processors, any tips? in Arizona, should be back early December

That being said, I've never seen a 3200 in a notebook; I am more familiar with how they operate in desktops. Give some feedback on if it works well or not, but I wouldn't expect much (bare minimum) Hardcore Headquarters elite player gamertag on 360 same as handle here
