I'm curious about the Video and Memory card. I'm not that smart with the parts in laptops so I was wondering if someone could help me out and tell me if this would be an ok gaming laptop (I will probably use for WoW, Call of Duty 2, and GW)

Thanks, ^_^

The memory at 1 GB is pretty good for a laptop, but the video card is completely unacceptable. You should definitely shop for a different laptop with a better video card.

if you could find something with a x1600 video card that would probably do, your not gonna get 100fps but those games you listed would be atleast be somewhat playable. some laptops have a slot that lets you change video cards, if you could find something cheap with the upgrade slot you could just buy a video card.

how much do u wanna pay for a laptop, cause for an mobility radeon x1600, u usually gotta pay like 1500 or more:shock: (at best buy). The only cheap one was a $1300 Asus laptop that has a Radeon x1700, but ure gonna have to reformat the hard drive (i heard it's easy and doesn't take long) and the screen is only 14 inches (wit resolution of 1440x900), but is very light in weight, but has bad battery life . It's mostly gotten good reviews though. O, it's only at Newegg, so check it out.

This is the cheapest thing at bestbuy that you might be able to scrape by on.
