    The only issue I see is the RAM . . might want to get the minimum and bump that up to 1.25GB (the 256MB standard and then add a 1GB, costs about $75) aftermarket. www.newegg.com has a great notebook memory section.

    If you would like a more specific recommendation, you can complete the FAQ in the What Should I Buy Forum and we'll give you some suggestions.

    I think Warcraft is the most-referenced series on the forum. Looks like I need to give it a shot.

    WC3 should fly on that machine. I run it at max settings on a 3 year old PowerBook with a 1ghz G4, 512 RAM, and Nvidia 5200 w/ 32mb memory. I don't think FT is much, if any, different demand wise.

    Ah - sorry, I wasn't sure of the requirements. If it ran on that machine at maximum settings, then you shouldn't have any problems is right!
