    i play world of warcraft and use a desktop now but im getting a laptop around christmas time. I want it to be the best price possible and dont mind playing at even minimum settings. I was just wondering how this laptop would do at each settings and if the 8400 will work even though its 128mb. It's down to the Vostro 1400 or 1500 now.

    the comp has:
    1.46 core 2 duo processor (800 fsb)
    2g shared ram
    nvidia 8600 256mb OR nvidia 8400 128mb ($100 difference)


    Are the ram and processor good enough for world of warcraft and im getting it with xp. Will the 128mb graphics card work at all? If so can you fill this out.

    About what fps should i get with the 8400? On min?On mid? On max?
