It's already been said but RAM is the way to go. I have a laptop with a GeForce 420 Go 32M (yes, only 32 meg graphics memory - how outdated can you get! :blush: ). I was having bad troubles with lagging every time I had a new load. A gryphon into Ironforge or Stormwind was about 5 SPF (seconds per frame) on touchdown for the first minute. I also had to turn down terrain distance and all other sliders to get anything acceptable at other times. I upped my RAM from 512 to 1024 and was amazed. I turned all the sliders to the top, including terrain distance, with the exception of the upper left set (? - don't remember what that is) which is apparently not available on this card. Any lag flying in to a major city is now directly related to population lag. In the early morning hours, I fly in and hit the ground running, no pause.

As the commercials say, JUST DO IT! I guarantee you will love it.
