My company gives me a discount on Dell computers, so I figured I'm finally gonna replace my old laptop. I was looking at video cards and I'm so confused as to which ones are better than others. I saw that Inspiron Notebooks can have a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT card. I'm not a hardcore gamer by far, and I don't need the bestest video card in the world, but I do play Warcraft on my desktop and my older laptop every now and then. Would I be able to play with this video card?

Just to let you know this is some of the other specs:

-Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (2.4GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache)
-2G Ram
-Size: 160GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)

I assume you mean WoW? either way, yes, it should run easely, seeing as the game can be played maxed out on a 6600GT already. (assuming the CPU and RAM arnt completely junk :) ) So yes, it should run good (I think it'll run maxed out tbh )

Sorry, I do mean World of Warcraft. Cool thanks for letting me know, everyone says that you need such a high level of a video card to play games, I wasn't sure. Plus I'm told that you need an actual gaming computer to play any game, which I thought was weird since my old laptop is like 3 years old now with 1G of ram and a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 6800 video card and it plays Warcraft perfectly.

You do need a good card to play the current games, but wow is an old game with bad graphics, your card is fine for it but it oculdnt touch new games, like crysis

I don't even know what Crysis is, so I guess that has absolutely no bearing on my decision. Like I said, I'm not a big time gamer, all I do is play Warcraft on Sundays.
