    I think EQ2 is more detailed than WoW, the graphics are awsome compared to WoW, they are both great games, but EQ2 seems to have more depth, I have been playing for four years now with 10 real life Buddy's. You can always try the free trial to see if you like it. If you buy the latest expansion, that's is all you need, unlike WoW where you have to buy all the expansions to get started.

    I don't care much for graphics, im a strategy war gamer - talking Panzer General 2 (1998ish?) Close Combat or Cross of Iron games, some first person shooters (first lan event was for Beatdown back in 98 for Quake 2)

    Yeah still play Q2/Q3 now and then, some CS - Mostly been playing Medieval 2 and considering Sacred 2 right now - seems like a mix of diablo 2 / Wow - but with Overhead camera view.

    I've personally been having trouble with WoW on my P-7811FX. Everything runs great, but my GPU gets extremely hot, sometimes up to 110 degrees Celcius. Not only does this scare me to death, but it causes my FPS to plummet, making the game practically unplayable for 30 seconds or so. I keep the back propped up, and I constantly have CPUID HW running. I've been considering getting a notebook cooler to help alleviate the problem. I currently have my eyes on the NZXT Cryo LX. Any suggestions for a better cooler, and any ideas other than a cooler that I can take to help lower temps? Thanks.

    I'd grab the cryo lx, also those temps seem abnormally high, maybe try reseating the heat pipe assembly? Good luck!

    Never heard of reseating heat pipe assembly. Any quick run-down? I imagine I'd fair well, considering I've built several desktops, but this is my first laptop and I have yet to crack it open. Also, still looking for more ideas. Thanks again!
