I have a HP Compaq Presario SR1710NX heres the specs on it http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&lang=en&cc=ca&product=1817035&dlc=en&docname=c00572527
I added more ram but I would like to know if I could put in a better graphics card in it to run the game or any game for that matter. Im not that great with the insides of a computer and wondering how much it would cost to upgrade what I need to upgrade.

World of Warcraft system requirements:
* Processor: 800MHz or higher CPU <-- Yes
* RAM: 256Mb or more <-- Yes
* Video: GeForce 2 or better <-- Yes
* Hard Drive Space: 3Gb or more available <-- Yes
* DirectX 9.0 or above <-- Yes
You have all the requirements for WoW, though it might be a bit laggy without optimized settings (ie low resolution, short draw distance, etc).
For future reference: upgrading your video card will greatly improve WoW. You have a decent processor; it's the video card that will be holding you back.
Have fun!

You will be able to play, but the graphics will be set at absolute minimum for a barely playable experience. The built-in graphics you have by ATi are very poor. They are slow, and it would be better if you got a new system as a whole. All the parts in there are currently not worthy of upgrading piece by piece. Save up some money friend!

You can't upgrade the graphics on most laptops. Period.
Gaming laptops cost a small fortune, so start saving for one from Alienware, for example.
