It’s possible to play WoW on a netbook in Cata, and even do dungeons. My desktop computer is currently in pieces awaiting upgrades, and I had a gutted external HD laying around. So I took the card from the external HD, hooked it to my desktop’s HD, and WoW is running smoothly. FPS rate is the same as yours, but I managed to run a H-ZG with minimal lag, and will be trying Ulduar25 (with far less than 25 people). This is using a 250gig HD from 2007, and an HPmini 1000 from 2008, so someone using more recent technology may even be able to pull off raiding Firelands with this. (I have a fan blowing on the HD though since this is a bit taxing on the poor thing)

Im having trouble on my netbook playing the game. When I enter a city like Stormwind it lags like crazy then outside of the city its a little laggy tho not much. However I was about to start a quest in Stormwind City and as I went to the area where the quest was my screen went black and made a very high pitched sound so my netbook must really be a bad version for that to happen.

Yeah, absolutely, Cat. At the time, I didn’t have a disk drive for it, but if you have one, that would be a LOT easier. ^_^

hey thanks that was very informative, just wondering, could you install it using an external disk drive? that way it would require less download? thanks x

I was wondering this myself as I’m thinking about buying a netbook just for writing and Web browsing. But I’ve also got a roommate who started playing and was going to try to help them level. But we only have the one desktop. I may just save up a little more and go for the next level in the 400-500 range laptop. Thanks for your post.
