I got a Compaq presario CQ60 as a Wow playing machine, it has a nvidia graphics card, Now my old laptop suffered from v.low frame rate.
I dont want to install ubuntu/wine and find the same problem.

Any one got good frame rate on one of these?

Thanks

You'll need to be more specific about the machine specs. CPU, RAM, model of Nvidia chipset.
I mean for all we know it could have a an old chipset it in and next to no ram..

This setup is quite low end, I do not recommend running wow on Ubuntu with this setup, stick with windoze.

if ya only run WoW, then that is powerful enough, but you might wanna upgrade the RAM to 2 GIGb.
