Desktop replacement.... how about this?

[turbominnow]

Looking at this msi to replace my desk rig. The most intense thing I do is raid in wow. Will the 8200 be up to the task?

That's a really weak GPU.

i dont think so.....

you want a 9400m or 210m

Just pony up the cash and get a real desktop replacement. I'm looking at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146613.

240m is efficient for WoW and it has the new quad i7 cpu!

or you could go this way:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220639

it had a better screen resolution, vid card and faster HD but has only a core 2 duo and for some reason DDR2 not 3. this thing is also $1100 but it seems to be a very nice machine.

I 2nd this option....I have the G51J-A1 and play WoW with it. The game looks great on the screen at 1920 x 1080. The cpu in the X3A will handle WoW easily enough, and don't worry about DDR2 vs. DDR3 for the system memory....it won't make any noticable difference for you.

And yeah...I agree that the video card in the original post is a very weak card...won't be able to play even WoW with it.
