    Hi.

    keep away from the 8400 GS, as they are faulty, either buy Ati or a Nvidia 9200m GS or above.

    Regards

    John.

    8400m GS is better but as Tinderbox has pointed out they are known to be defective so you should probably look at other options if your buying.

    I would suggest getting a better graphics card not just for a game but for the future.. GFX outdate in a mere 2~3 years or so. If u are thinking of staying a bit uphead with technology i would suggest getting an 8600M GT or higher..

    Dell XPS 1530 seems to be a favorable buy here at NBR.

    if not, your laptop should do the trick for World of Warcraft
