    Yes it will run at decent fps on low settings.

    I'm pretty sure at least 50% of the new guys do the same thing.

    WOW scales very well with any graphics card, so I'm almost 101% sure you'll be able to play it. I just don't know how much you'll like the available eye candy...but if you don't like it, you can always just stop playing it.

    The X3100 will play WoW for sure...how well is a different story.

    Even the GMA 950 can play WoW.

    I saw a GMA 950 play wow on medium settings. No joke, but it was on a macbook.

    You can easily play WoW with integrated. I run medium settings on my 1420

    you can run WoW with a piece of paper....seriously, you have nothing to worry about if you'll only be playing wowish games.

    If he is using Vista he might have problems. Currently the Vista x3100 drivers are terrible and dont even properly support TnL.
