    How would these play on the m11xR3? Not a huge gamer, but do play these occasionally. Mostly considering the m11x as a backup/travel laptop. Thoughts?

    WoW runs like a piece of cake. Makes the fan go insanely loud but at least it plays good. :D Not sure about DAoC.

    Even on my R1 , WoW is 60 FPS even on Medium / high with some details on low at native resolution. The game is beautifull on a 11" screen , and plays GREAT.

    I bought my M11X for WoW when i use to play it , and it was awesome.

    Playing with it not overclocked (WoW) - I seem to get about 40fps (high or ultra?) with some dips in areas like twilight highlands (it does force me to lower to about medium or so to keep it consistant). The experience is better than I expected since I didn't purchase the laptop to game.
