    Hey guys,

    First off I'd like to say I just stumbled upon these forums today and they're awesome. Quality information and lots of it :)

    I'm looking to buy a portable laptop (will be using it a lot in libraries and what not) after I upgrade my desktop. Currently I'm looking at the Sony VAIO SZ series, but my concern lies in the video card. I've been playing EQ since release, and WoW a little on the side, and I'm curious as to how well the Go7400 will handle these two games specifically.

    I always play EQ and Wow on minimal settings - Will there be much video lag?

    Thanks in advance.

    the Go7400 is a pretty good card...its a midrange card at that...competitive to the ATI x1400.............so i say it should play those games fine ;)

    check the sticky on the top :Chazman's Guide it should provide you with helpful information :)

    The 7400 should be fine for EQ and WoW... What I really like about the VAIO SZ is it's ability to switch to the integrated GPU to conserve battery power. Graphics power when you need it, and battery life when you don't. :)
