I would really appreciate it if you told me if these two things will work great with each other.
Yes. Warcraft doesn’t really have good graphics for a good computer. You could play even better games with your computer.
You should be able to play WoW easily on that laptop, however you MIGHT need to turn down the resolution and graphic details a little bit to maintain playable conditions.
You have plenty of RAM and Processor power.
As you can see, you beat out the minimum requirements, but you’re just under the recommended with your graphics card (a 7600 GT is a tad higher than the 8600 GS that you have) – and laptop cards are a bit weaker than their desktop counterparts.
You’ve got a pretty good computer there. Enjoy playing WoW to your heart’s content – you shouldn’t have any problems.
Its a good computer only thing is your missing your video card to run your graphics on the game. This game takes a lot of space on your hard drive. With a video card this helps the performace of the game. Hope this helps.
yea, should work excellently. Keep in mind, the updates take a long time to download to your computer. BTW, its a great game if u havent played it b4.
All you have to do is see if the computer’s specs meet or exceed what the game recommends. (PS, that’s the laptop’s hardware, not software. The game is software) Also, you don’t have to specify “for a game called “The World Of Warcraft”". Just say it, anyone who knows anything about computers knows what it is.
Games need a good graphic card, yours has NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M witch is fairly good for a laptop. So should play World Of Warcraf fine.
Dont expect any laptop to be able to play demanding games in high res and still be very smooth. World Of Warcraf has quite basic graphics so you should be fine, though if you decided to play a game with demanding graphics, then you need a desktop with a good graphics card (only desktops can accommodate the best graphics cards).
