Dell - 1.8/2mb cache Pentium M Laptop $449

To answer your question: Yes it is spectacularly cheap. The screen is rather small. It is using 2 year old integrated graphics. And although the chip and RAM are faster with a 533Mhz FSB, it is limited by the board at 400Mhz.

I was just about to post this. Note that the wireless router is no longer free. Bait and switch much Dell?

My question to ya'll is this:

Will this run WoW at a decent speed/resolution/graphics setting?

Don't forget the $35 off $300 coupon which you can get from Ebay unless you already have one.

Also, use Dell DPA to get an extra 2% off.

No. Although the RAM is suffiecent, the CPU and intergrated graphics are severly lacking. I do not think you will have a positive experiance playing WoW on this thing.

How do I get the coupon? Thanks.

And thanks for answering my WoW question. Are the graphics not upgradable at all?

I do not think you can upgrade them on the Inspirons. I could be wrong but I am very sure that you can't.
