Hi, i have in plan to buy wow next week (for first time). I have my desktop PC, but i want to play wow and on my new notebook (i'm waiting to be delivered, 2 days more).
ACER Extensa 5635G-663G32Mn (c2d 2.2ghz, g105m 512mb ddr3 (ps3.0,dx10), 3gb ddr2, windows 7/vista ultimate). How i can expect that wow will working on this config ? Thanks.
Touchpads suck for gaming, other than that the graphic requirements aren't that high for WoW and can be nicely playable on modern notebooks.
Yea, i know that very well, i have my desktop PC for all new dx10 games, but i want notebook for job and for online games with friends like (cs1.6,dota,wc3).
So i suppose that i will play wow on this notebook well without big fps drops ?
Look for a laptop that can run games of two years ago. That's about where wow stands on the performance chart I think.
A couple of pointers:
- 2GB of RAM bare minimum, on a 32-bit windows anything over 3GB is wasted (or kept for future upgrades to a 64-bit OS).
- a fast dual core > a slow quad core. wow barely uses the extra cores.
- get the best graphics card you can afford. It's the part that gets put back the most on laptops.
- 7200rpm harddisk > 5400rpm harddisk, but this comes last on the list. It's a quality of life thing mostly...

Actually, thats not always correct. I'm running a 1.5Tb Samsung F2 drive (which runs at 5400rpm) and it's as fast as my 7200rpm drive with a seek time averaging 8.9ms. It's due to it's higher density. It also runs cooler than my 7200rpm 1Tb backup drive as it's spinning slower.
...... but I run WoW on my 10,000rpm Raptor and I'm always the first to appear in an instance ;)

Yes well, things change when you got that kind of budget . If I'm giving advice to a (no offense) beginner, rule of thumb is 7200rpm > 5400rpm.
