Should I Upgrade?

[lilbrack5]

I play World of Warcraft on a Toshiba Satellite p35 S609 notebook. It comes stock with 512mb of memory, and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP. I have increased the memory to 1gb, But I plan on increasing it to like 1 and 1/2 gb soon to increase my gaming performance. Does my video card need upgraded? And if so... what video cards are compatible with my notebook, I can't seem to figure this one out. Any help will be highly appreciated.

New computer time man. But yes more RAM would help.

More RAM would help especially considering the fact that your VPU is integrated and sharing memory with your RAM. However, because your VPU is integrated (it usually is on laptops), and you haven't got an expansion slot that supports a new VPU (you usually won't with a laptop), you won't be able to upgrade it.

Getting a new computer is currently not an option. However, I plan on adding the ram. Is the video card fine for just playing WoW?

I'd expect the VPU to handle WoW fine. Not like you have much of an option anyway if you can't buy a new PC .

WoW should run fine.
