Hi!

I have been given a Dell Latitude 410. It has 1GB RAM, 2 GHz processor and 128MB Intel Intergated video chipset. It was purchased about 12 months ago.

Im wanting to play World of Warcraft, but Im not sure if the graphics on this laptop are going to be up to it. The main thing that is concerning me is that at the WoW website it claims WoW needs hardware supported Transform & Lighting, which Im not sure if this computer has.

The chipset name is Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Express.

Looking for some advice on this. Thanks in advance!

From the second link provided by FairyPink:

(from Supported Video Hardware)

Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA 900 / 82915) Chipset*

-- *Limited Pixelshader Support

From what I've heard it should work, albiet possibly with low settings/resolutions.
