    Does anyone here own an HP dv6000t and tell me what kind of settings they are able to run WoW on? Also what FPS are you getting? Here is what I was thinking of getting:

    Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo T5200(1.60GHz/2MB L2Cache)

    256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400

    1GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)

    My decision is between this and the Dell Inspirion 1505...

    Your thoughts are appreciated! :)

    I do not own WoW, but the x1400 and 7400 are very similar in performance. I would focus on other tie-breakers such as style, battery, other components, price, etc.

    I'm sure other members here will be happy to share their frame rates. :)

    My estimates are that WoW will run on max detail with some AA and AF and 40fps+ with either X1400 or go 7400, at least.

    At full detail I highly doubt you will get 40fps consistently througout outlands. Even my X1600 falls under 30fps in certain areas and I don't play on full detail.

    With my specs, I'm able to get around 25-45 FPS at 1280x800, details set on about medium. I don't think with those specs you'll be getting what you anticipate, although it will definately be playable. If I go down to a lower resolution, it's easily playable at 50+ FPS.

    I played WoW with 512 MB of RAM and a GeForce 4 (64MB).
