    I have an Inspiron 5160

    Pentium 4 - 3.06Ghtz/HT
    768MB PC2700 333Mhtz RAM ( I upgraded in January)
    nVidia Geforce GoFX5200 - 64MB dedicated
    Windows XP Home
    40GB hard drive (not a problem)
    Wireless DSL connection with a compact USB wireless network adapter
    (11Mbps)

    CS:Source runs great
    Little slow when loading HL2
    Call of Duty + United offensive runs like a dream
    The Sims 2 runs great

    Will it run World of Warcraft well? I already have it installed on my desktop. I want to try to play it in my bathroom :)
