    1. What sort of FPS do you get?
    2. What sort of settings are you using for those FPS?
    3. Max settings you can acheive for 25=30 FPS?
    4. Location and actions being taken while getting those FPS.


    Thanks A lot =)

    It really depends. I've found the camera angle changes the FPS drastically: overhead (looking down) runs about 2x as fast as in line with the horizon. But to try and answer your questions, at about 20-30 degree down camera angle I usually get from 16-19 FPS in the major cities like Stormwind or Ironforge, 22+ in the open, this is with most settings at low. Others here have reported better performance after some tweaking of Vista or downgrading to XP, but on my machine, plugged in, High Performance (but not over clocked) I'd say 20 FPS on mostly low settings is a reasonable average; hope this helps.

    That is a help thanks. It's way below what i would consider acceptable for my tastes.

    Roger that; as far as WoW goes I basically just use the machine to check mail or look in at the Auction House, etc. WoW is much more CPU dependent than some other games and the little Atom has a hard time keeping up. It's a heck of a nice netbook in other ways, however, with ports and features, not to mention build quality, others can't match. Just not a great WoW machine...
