I know people out there are playing it on this. Can I play the game at the native resolution on the laptop at a good framerate? What about with the gfx everything turned on?

have you tried it? people are getting 40+ fps with native resolution 1280x800...
could be different specs or an old driver?

the integrated graphics can definately handle WoW because the game was built to play on old/cheap systems

Ok, I just found a co-worker with a 700m with 512mb and a 1.8Ghz. while running the game in native resolution, with everything turned down, he gets about 9-15fps while outdoors. Does that sound right?

i was searching the forum but couldnt find the threat with all the games working on 700m..

outdoors as in running on battery or plugged in?

I think the guy who had WoW running fine on native resolution had a 2.0ghz and 2 gigs of ram.

Well the guy had wow runing on battery and I had hi plug it in. fps stayed about the same. outdoor running was anywhere from 9-15fps with the gfx turned down.
I cant see how adding 512mb more ram would improve his fps by 10fps. But if I could get wow to run at about 19-25fps with the gfx turned up and in tative resolution I would be happy.

WOW runs decently at 800x600 with most of the details turned off. Similar to guild wars.

It's not the best, but very playable.

Adding 512-MB of RAM does make a significant difference. WoW runs best with 1-GB and up.

RAM would probably take a load off the processor

but enough to make it run at half speed in wow? Becuase if that is true I would really like this laptop as I would probably have 1gig when I bought one.
but still I want it to run in native video mode

Intel Extreme 2 cannot run this game well at 1200x800 even if you had 10 gigs of ram. Extra ram will do very little past ~1 gig. Going from 512 -> 1G of ram will net you like .5 fps increase. I guarantee you it won't change much, if at all.
