My graphics is the only thing letting me down, i've installed and updated the drivers but any of you know any tricks and tips to getting WoW run smoother than it currently will?

Atleast it meets minimum requirements, but it would be nice not to have loads of lag when slashing a monster. Any advice fella's?

Kinda hard to do much with a laptop, could try lowering the resolution or removing a few graphical options(not like WoW has many )

You might be surprised - I ran wow on full settings on my laptop (that lenovo n200 jobby that was £350 a few months back). Everything on yours looks good, it's just the graphics card that could cause problems, I don't know how the 200M is, but mines a Geforce GO 7300 and it does ok. I run the game at 20-50fps depending on how crowded things get, always playable though.

I meant more that it's kinda hard to change anything with a laptop hardware wise to improve performance :/

WoW will run on pretty much anything, you have to remember it hasnt changed much in, what 4 years?
