    All of you SZ owners that play WoW!
    Do you think the 13.3" display is big enough for you to play it on?
    Or do you think that buying the FE would be better?

    I also play WoW maxed out on mine. It's big enough to play on, but bigger monitor is always better.

    wow is fine. sz and fe should be the same. Its the same vid card. I'm happy. You can set wow to max setting(turn off full screen glow effects and you'll see a jump of 5-10fps)

    2gb of ram helps alot. It WILL make it a bit less laggy in origamar or IF. There is still lag. just not as bad. fps is anywhere form 20's to 60+. In gatgetzan(sp) if I run around the center cage, my fps is about 30fps.
    I havnet done anything BIG like MC or the like, but that would probably lag with that much people on the screen

    Actually, you can pick up 2GB at newegg for about $150.

    Ive got a S460, i play WoW on it nps, i played it on the notebook screen before the screen went bust (play it on a external now), and it was smashing, the notebook is stock apart from 2gb of ram, no lag, max setting, after upgradeing the drivers at http://www.laptopvideo2go.com, def worth getting the latest approved drivers from them. So the SZ should eat it up no probs
