    I play World of Warcraft and have already upgraded RAM and I need to update the video card. But I have to upgrade the vid card and I know absolutely nothing about them, or how to find out if theynare compatible with my computer. So...........I was wondering if anybody could recommend good one for me to run WoW smoother.

    Video cards in notebooks and netbooks are generally not upgradeable, there are few exceptions but I doubt this is one of them, you'd generally have to buy one with a changeable video card already in mind and besides that it has Intel GMA which is an integrated graphics chip, so you technically don't have a video card to upgrade in the first place.
