yes

[Tanroker]

It will run WOW

[BrandonD]

Yay!!! Thanks y'all. I'll be on in no time, then.

Next questions:

Will I be able to run WoW on the above machine w/ decent settings (i.e. max filters, antisopot-owhatever, etc)?

I have 128k DSL.
1. Do I dare play wirelessly? (801.11g)
2. If not, will I get a decent framerate even if I'm hard-wired?

I ask b/c wireless gaming is my ideal setup, but I don't know how practical it is. I suspect a moderate amount of interference at home, so....

Prepare to be pwnd.

[VincentVega]

yeah it should run it pretty well. probably won't be able to run it maxed on everything but wirelessly should play fine

[DWall]

yeah WoW runs remarkably well despite what your connection is, people can play on dial up with barel any lag.

WoW will run fine on integrated graphics

Not on my sentia.

Unless by your definition fine is 10-15 FPS lol

[BrandonD]

I didn't think the card I listed above WAS integrated. I thought it was a PCIe card...at least, that's what the specs said.

[CoffeeShark]

the go7300 is a pci-express dedicated card and will handle the game easily.

I play all my games wirelessly, btw.
