    ok so i have received this toshiba laptop for free i just had to buy it a new power charger and inverter to get it running ( currently battery is dead charger is on the way ) iv taken the laptop's cpu compartment open and cleaned out dust with compressed air and redid the cpu thermal grease so it should be all set for running but i had a few questions. this laptop has a 32mb nvidia fx 5100 go do you guys think it can be overclocked to play world of warcraft on maybe 1280 x 800 ( moniter resolution ) also this laptop will be running vista home premium im going to upgrade it to 1.25gb of ram. also where do you think i can find vista drivers for the atheros intergrated wireless

    Current Specs
    Pentium 4 Desktop 2.8ghz
    512mb of ram
    60gb 5400rpm hard drive
    15.4 inch 1280 x 800 screen

    That video card barely meets the minimum requirements, 512mb of RAM doesn't help either. WoW will probably run on the lowest settings.
