    I am just curious is anyone games on a p300 and if so how well the machine performs? More in particular while playing WoW. This is my first laptop and i am loving it! Its great playing movie files...like 25gig vc1 files. I used the hdmi out on a LCD and it was super crisp and smooth.

    I am just curious about gaming and if anyone has good or bad experiences to share?

    This thing can run WoW pretty darn easy even built in X4500 GPU's can play the game now you should be more then fine and should be able to run it on medium-High. Good luck

    Thanks Red Dragon,
    I'm installing WoW now but it is taking forever to patch!
    I will report back with what sort of FPS it can handle and GPU Temperature levels for anyone else that may be interested on gaming on a p300.

    I finally got WOW installed(that took almost 12 hrs of dloading) and i get 20 fps with video settings at their highest. 30fps at good level and 60fps at fair level.
    After playing around for a bit, my gpu temp got to 66 degrees C. Not sure if thats good or bad. I don't have a cooling pad yet but i might get one if it helps.

    3dmark06 got a score of 3126 as well for anyone interested
