    It will run but it won't be too enjoyable I'd think.

    get XP, rather than vista... I just can't believe how slow Warcraft3 runs...

    Using vista, I must run at 800x600 16bit with medium-low quality setting just to play 'dota' moderate-speed....

    But I know for sure XP will do much better.

    but most of all, you should'nt play any 3D games in your TZ anyway !!!!!

    using the TZ to play 3D games is akin to towing a trailer with your mazda miata. I'll stick with playing bomberman!
