any computer tecks out there

This isn't going to make any difference whatsoever but since I like to put my $.02 in...

I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop with 1.5GB RAM and 100 GB HD, dual core 1.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor, and integrated ATI graphics. The graphics subsystem is currently set to use around 250MB of my system memory for graphics.

IME, WoW plays very nicely, graphics are smooth and pretty (though I have them turned down somewhat for when things get 'flashy' on the screen... I hate lag ), but I had to tweak the ATI settings to get everything to look good and work smoothly. The changes I made improved performance in all graphics intensive programs, so this helps, though I still can't play Medal of Honor 4 with any sense of decency.

I use this as my regular computer, and would actually be playing WoW right now if I could find a game card... But the fact is I paid $600 for my laptop, and it's awesome for what I paid. The only upgrade I've made is an extra 512MB of RAM, when I switched out the 512 for a 1GB chip.

I would have bought a desktop BUT I hate having wires hanging everywhere. So I'm saving up for an iMac
