Can I run world of warcraft on this notebook?

Question

Buying a new laptop so me and the wife can play warcraft at the same time. Does this sound like a good setup?

HP Pavilion dv6000t CTO NB
Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit)
Intel(R) Pentium(R) dual core T2080(1.73GHz/1MB)
15.4" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800)
2GB (2 Dimm) Ram
256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
160 gig harddrive

I will be connecting wirelessly to a linksys wireless-g wrt54g broadband routed and sharing the internet connection between to computers playing warcraft at the same time.

The internet speed acording to http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/ before being split is 1530kbps down and 418kbps up.

Will warcraft work good on two comps on one internet connection with this notebook?

Answer 1

yes you can run WoW on that notebook..and I've been on a DSL network (1.5/256) with two machines running wow at the same time..so you should be okay..

Answer 2

yea the 128 mb is way too slow but the 1 gb graphics should be plenty. You'll find it runs slower (display, details) because it is not a dedicated card if your desktop was. You should be able to run best graphics too in WoW, but again it'll be slower than a desktop, even with that configuration. If that isn't a concern then it should work fine. Let me know which server you'll be on because with just a 15 inch screen, your character will be easily blindsided in PVP :)

Answer 3

Yes, WoW runs on machines much less powerful that that- and sharing computers over the wireless connection is no problem.

But for the record, Vanguard Saga of Heroes is a better game- MUCH more interesting content :)

Answer 4

Yes. Vanguard is a buggy, laggy, mess. Do not buy it.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

are u sowing off?

Answer 8

You should be fine :)

Answer 9

of course you can... it will run nicely...
