    I've installed WoW on my Vaio SZ-28GP and played around with the Stamina (integrated video) and Speed (GeForce video) switch and have found the I get higher frames if I use the integrated video. 30-40fps at 1280x800 vs 20-30fps on the GeForce.

    Could there be something wrong with the geforce card?
    My specs are -

    2.0Ghz
    1024MB RAM
    1280x800
    Geforce go 7400

    What drivers are you using? Even tho I doubt it is the cause of the performance gap...

    Sony OEM drivers are generally slower and set for functionality and stability over performance. Try updated drivers from sonys website and then laptopvideo2go.com.
