these are the min system requirements:

Windows® System 2000/XP OS:

Intel Pentium® III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz

512 MB or more of RAM

32 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as
NVIDIA® GeForce™ 2 class card or above

DirectX® 9.0c (included) and latest video drivers

6.0 GB available HD space

4x CD-ROM drive

A 56k or better Internet connection

Looking at you system, all of your specs meet these requirements, except i cant see any video card mentioned in ur specs. So if you know what it is or if you have onboard video, pls mention it. i'm not sure if it will run with onboard video.

Also 512mb isn't really that great with WOW or any modern game these days your best with 1gb, if you can afford to add more you'll find it will run much smother than just the 512.

You may not like the game, but if you have nothing relavent to add, dont just badmouth someone elses choices. And no, I am not a WoW player, I play GW. But he asks a question about WoW he should get an answer about WoW.

Anyways,

I googled around and found



HP Pavilion DV8301NR 17" AMD Turion 64 ML-34 1.8GHz Media Center Laptop

Is that the laptop you are thinking about getting? If so, you should be able to play WoW. Not at high setting mind you (GPU is limting) but you will be able to play.

It runs, but it's GPU-limited in Windows. Pretty much any upgrade to the graphics card would help.

 

[Thulsa_DOOM]

well the upgrades for the graphics are these 2

128MB ATI Radeon X1300 or 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro

would either of these be good or should i just go out to best buy and buy one seperately. if thats the case wats a good one and how much would it cost me?

thanks for the answers

Go there and look in the drop down menu for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade ( even if you don't buy it, it is still good to check for it because patchs / updates will add new content or change the graphics or something )

Hope this helps
