World of Warcraft on Acer Aspire One

I have the 120 GB, 3-cell Acer Aspire One with RAM upgraded to 1.5 GB. Here is World of Warcraft running on the little guy. It IS playable, but I wouldn't suggest raiding or PvP but you could farm for gold, grind some levels, or any other non-graphical intensive stuff. 1 on 1 encounters with mobs are very stable at about 20 fps, but in towns you're pretty well screwed. At one point in the busiest part of Shattrath that it hit 1 FPS. This is very intensive test and I checked in various places including Orgrimmar, Shatt, and even some of the less populated areas. Enjoy.

UPDATE

Just for everyone's reference, because I see lots of questions about the in game settings. Just to be clear, the game is running on the lowest of the lows in all situations. BUT just to clear up any doubts you might have about the laptop, since WotLK has been released, all areas outside of Northrend run very very well averaging 20-30 FPS in almost all situations. Northrend on the other hand runs absolutely horrible (especially Darnasus) about 5-15 fps avg.

i play on this laptop, with one gb1 ram, and i dont lag like you. Simply because i know how to organize my computer, you could disable many Hardware and useless software. Modify your window to get a better framerate. As well disable vertical sync and triple buffering. be in the minimal resolution of the game, be in 16-bit color. Modify the gfx /w the wow console. you could be under the minimal view distance. all of these thing give me 25fps at orgrimmar (catalcysm)

@Chooboh

This was back in BC before it was optimized to run on lower system settings. Read the video description. It is a much more viable machine with their more recent optimizations. The upgraded ram should give you an indication that I know how to optimize the performance of a PC.

My question is, I have an Aspire One D257 with 2GB of RAM. Do you think it'll run ok? I don't want to waste the time downloading the game if it won't run right.

@MrTelecasterIV i play on an acer aspire x1300 on ultra settings with reasonably unnoticable lag,on medium high,its perfect,but ive been told thats impoosible,wonder why...

[MrTelecasterIV]

i play this with higher settings on aspire one 721 its got 4gb ram 1.8ghz and ati 4225 it really plays smooth

it's important to point out that fraps lags the dick out of world of Warcraft. so it actually goes faster.

i downloaded catacolyism on an aspire one d255 with 1 gb ram and it ran fine bullshit about WoW saying you need like 9 gb ram

@Chooboh How would a person go about modifying the minimum draw distance even lower than the games lowest default? please explain and I will bow down to you
