Because I can run it at its highest detail settings on my laptop with a nice smooth framerate. At first I was sort of worried that the little 32MB Radeon 9000 might not handle it well, but it does great. It does sort of help that the other important hardware is sorta beefy (1.6 GHz Pentium M and a gig of memory) though.

Now, I can only run it on 1024x768 since that's the LCD's native resolution, but it still looks great and doesn't feel cluttered at that resolution.

Good times :D The mobile Radeon 9200 in my laptop seems to be handling everything I can throw at it too, I'm actually quite surprised :)

One of the bad things about betas are the non-disclosure agreements.

WoW lags for me at times (and I'm on a 9800), but my hard drive is fragmented beyond belief right now. If I analyze it, it is just one huge red bar :D

So I am hoping a defrag will help with that :D

- 3 Gigabytes or more of available hard drive space. <-- They lie. My beta folder is at 8 gig almost.
Think while it's still legal.

2.96gb here, is there a difference between the stress test and the beta clients?

Taken 1600 screenshots? lol

And Spork, he's sorta gimpy since he's a warlock and Blizzard hasn't given them talents yet...

This is gimpy though.
