    Hi, I came across this laptop on neweeg.com, for the price and specs it seems like an unbeatable deal. Heres the link...

    My only concern is that Warcraft III may not work on a 64-bit vista system. I have read on a couple threads that people would get error messages during installation or computer freezes while playing. I just wanted to get some input from some good ole notebookreview.com forum members. If you have a vista 64-bit and have tried to run Warcraft III can you please post your experience? Thanks a whole lot.

    I haven't run WoW, but all the other games I have used on Vista x64 have worked fine.

    I run WC3 TFT on my Vista Ultimate x64. No problems here. Everything is smoother than in Vista Ultimate x86.
