    Hi,

    I just fully formatted my M11X R2 and installed a video card driver and a driver for my wireless network. Nothing more just yet. Now I want to install WoW and it tells me I have Insufficient CPU. Do I need to download a driver for my CPU? If so, which one?

    Also I checked Dell´s site for M11x R2 drivers and it shows 5 drivers on the page but no Intel Drivers

    I have a feeling that my M11X is EXTREMELY slow

    you might want to go to intel's website and get your drivers. and you need no drivers for the cpu. also did you overclock your cpu and use throttlestop?

    Try downloading prime95 and start the stress test. Launch WOW, then alt tab out and stop the stress test. This way, your CPU shall have throttled up so that the WOW launcher recognises it at its usual gaming speed.
