    Hallo everyone!
    im going to buy this puppy, but first i want to know about the video card:

    I will use laptop for office programs only, but also i play World of Warcraft alot.
    Laptop i use now has ATI x600 128mb video, and it scores aprox 1200 on pcmark05
    The question is, will this card GF 7400TC 128MB be better and will it run WoW faster?

    Another question is about heat. I serached this and other forums and didint quite understand about heat issue. Is it ok to use word excel and internet, while laptop is on legs?


    Im going to buy:
    SONY VAIO VGN-FE21H, 15.4 WXGA Double X-Black, DC T2300 1.66GHz/2MB/667FSB, 1024MB, GF 7400TC 128MB, SATA 100GB/5400rpm, SM DL 8xDVD+/-RW/WLAN 802.11g, Bluetooth V2.0, MC2005/Docking port/i945PM, DDR2/3xUSB2.0/S-Video/1394/0.3M camera/2.8Kg

    I can't tell you about the graphics, but I have the FE11H and never had any problems with it from heat. Sometimes it does get warm while on mains, but not unduly so. If it worries you, put a mag or something on your lap,but personally I don't think it's an issue.

    Yes a 7400 should be slightly better than the x600. It should play world of warcraft fine.
