    Could this run WoW at max settings with a resolution of 1440x900?

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache)
    2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
    256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT

    I believe you can (if it's GDDR3 GPU, it'll run much better than a standard DDR2). If not, try lowering resolution at 1024x768. And please, read the sticky next time.

    You should be able to max WoW regardless of which version of RAM it has, I'm pretty sure. WoW doesn't take much to run, and the weaker version of the card can run Bioshock pretty well maxed at 1280x800 for me...no reason why WoW shouldn't run flawlessly at 1440x900.

    Threads that are at the top, they are always there because a mod "stickied" them.
