    was just wondering if this would be able to handle WoW with at least 10-15 fps on all settings minimum. thanks

    I played WoW on my older laptop with similar specs....played like a charm, I just had to tone down a little bit of details.

    If you up the ram to 1 gig I bet ull be able to run it at pretty good details and res. The low ram might hold you back a little.

    But it still should be able to play well, I ran it at max res and medium details with 30fps on the laptop in my sig, which has more ram than u, but the gpu is not as powerful.

    it is a good question and FYI not all computers can run WoW.......It probably run but like you said with 10-15 fps which is very unplayable....it would have better fps if u upgraded to 1gb ram or upgraded the HD cause most likely it is a 5400 not 7200rpm and that could also cause a lag.......good luck! ;)

    I ran WoW np on a 1.3ghz p-M, radeon 9000 and 512mb ram for a long time (pre xpac). I had to get 1gb for the expansion because my system just didn't have enough ram, but it still ran fine.

    I wouldn't recommend raiding with this system unless you're a healer though. Older instances aren't bad but pretty much every expansion raidzone is laggy as hell with 25-40 people on screen + mobs. As a healer I basically had to face the wall and cast spells on random HP bars, moving only when necessary. Not too much fun :p
