Will this computer run world of warcraft?

xxx
Hi , first post.

I was wondering if the following computer could run World Of Warcraft at a good rate and FPS.

Fujitsu S6120 Laptop-

Intel Pentium Centrino 1.6GHZ processor.
40GB HD.
512Mb of RAM

I can easily get the RAM upgraded but I am uncertain of the graphics card and I was wondering if anyone knew.

This is a five-year-old machine. It's not going to be blistering fast at anything new. WoW was originally published in 2004, so this ought to run the game, though you might want to upgrade that memory.

well the cpu will be ok, and you will want to jump to a gig of ram but honestly that Intel GMA 855 graphics with only 64mb of ram will be holding you back. It should run, but we are talking about all low settings and likely limited to a very low resolution. It'll hardly be the best gaming experience you will have, but it might get ya through the day

The laptop in it's current condition may well load WoW and allow you to do certain things in the game, but will more than likely freeze when in major cities and highly populated areas.

Upgrading the RAM and reducing the eye candy to lowest will help but that laptop isnt gonna make it as enjoyable as the game should be.
