    hi all,

    I am planning to get a new notebook which allows me to play war3 Frozen throne flawlessly.
    Besides the normal application, that's the only thing i need.

    Do you guys think that the integrated graphic card is good enough? pls share. thanks.

    regards,
    kampung

    Warcraft 3 plays fine with Intel GMA950 graphics.

    I currently have a Toshiba A20, 2.53 Ghz and a 32mb integrated card and I can run Frozen Throne on the highest settings. There is a little slowdown when a lot of stuff is on screen, but any card avaliable now will run it fine.

    tks for sharing. If the integrated graphic card do well with war3, then i shouldn't spend more on independent graphic card. just fyi, independant GC only can be found on those above-average laptop.

    War3 runs on pretty much everything. I played it quite well on a Intel extreme graphics (really sucky). But if you want to play other games in the future, you need a better graphic card
