Will this Laptop be able to run WoW

[rbaldwin7]

Hi there,

I need a laptop for school and hopefully also it can run atleast My Main on Decent Settings or 2x (or more?) clones that are on Min Settings.

I've never owned a laptop, if needed, is it possible to replace the video card myself?

The video card is a ATI RADEON X3100.


And here is the information from the site:

Toshiba - Satellite Laptop with AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor QL-60 - Onyx Blue

I Run 3 Instances of wow on my dell , its a core 2 duo 1.8 Ghz with 2 gig of ram, and a ATI x1400 Vid card , although i do run them at the lowest graphics settings and in a 640x480 windows so I can see all 3 of them

Only issue i ever have is reading text as its soooooo small
