    It will play at max resolution and most settings on medium. If you tone down the resolution, you could probably have high settings.

    Guessing WSXGA res? (1440*900) I'd say it should max it out with plenty of fps and some AA and AF.

    My old mobility radeon 9700 maxed out WoW with AA and AF at 1400*1050 and the x700 256mb is a decent bit more pwoerful than that.
