Laptop Graphics (and World of Warcraft)

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and have searched though old posts but I apologise if I ask something that's already been answered.

Basically, I was wondering if my laptop system would be able to run World Of Warcraft? My main concern is my graphics card as it's a mobility radeon and I've read in lots of places that the laptop graphics drivers aren't updated nearly enough.
My specs are:

Mobile Athlon XP2500+ 1.8Ghz
512Mb RAM
Mobility Radeon 9600 64Mb

I'm not concerned about it running perfectly smooth but I would like it to be tolerable and playable.


Thanks very much for your time and any replies.

System specs
It will run it just fine with that setup. The only thing I would recommend is an upgrade to your ram.

Thanks so much for the reply. I'm really glad to hear WoW will work on my laptop as I didn't want to buy it only to find it unplayable!

Looking forward to getting it now.

Thanks again
