Alright so my XPS Gen2 has never been able to play WoW. Oh it runs - for a bit. What happens is the damn laptop randomly blackscreens and reboots. It can happen in 5 minutes, 25 minutes, 3 hours... but it WILL happen. Since I stopped...

I believe the delay was caused by their offices burning down. I read a blurb about it in the last CGW mag I got. Let's hope they still had time to optimize as well!
