    I was thinking of buying this at my local bestbuy store for $1699.99CAD, the DV9330.
    Let me know if this configuration is good for gaming and also let me know if it will run WoW well along with future games that will be coming out.

    For that price, I would recommend getting a DV9500T and upgrading it to similar specifications, which are usually better than the older DV9000T.

    They don't have dv9500t's in stores or at least ones with a dedicated graphics card. The dv9330 was the only one.. so I don't really have a choice and the hp.ca site doesn't have it either. All the laptops at bestbuy and futureshop had shared memory graphics cards..
