    WoW - Probably. Might not be able to crank every setting up, but it should run at a medium resolution fine. Maybe even a higher resolution.. WoW will run on older cards just fine in many cases.

    Star Wars Galaxies - Hmm.. Jury is out. It's an old game, so maybe. I thought they were putting in the 8400 series cards on the 1420's? If so then that card will run both of those, just don't expect high frame rates at times. I have the 8600M GT and it gets a bit laggy with too many settings turned up on most newer games, but it stomps all over older ones and WoW.

    Oh yea i meant the 8400 GS my bad. as you can see I havent gotten the Laptop yet its still in building stage. Lol anyways so I havent really looked into any newer games yet last i heard WOW had just come out so yea im a bit behind in the PC Gaming world.

    Hopefully the Laptop will do just fine, i dont mind not running it at super high settings, medium is ohk with me, w.e makes it run faster...

    I hear theyre coming out with a T7700 for the 1420... That must be great and expensive.
