    i was playing wow on my brothers aspire 5102, and it was choppy and lagging like hell. his aspire has a radeon xpress 1100. if i were to play it on a c90 or so, the game would run incredibly smooth, right?

    Yes, because you would no longer be using a Radeon 1100, and instead using an 8600m GT.

    The Xpress 1100 should be fine for WoW, my x200m runs it at 1024*768 at medium with perfectly playable fps and the 1100 should be a touch more powerful.

    What are the rest if the system specs?

    I used to play WoW on a Radeon 9500 pro at 1600x1200 med-high settings (no AA, a small amount of AF, 2x or 4x) just fine, so that shows how crappy integrated video is if it only does 1024x768.
