Will this laptop be able to run WoW and WAR on high settings? And if changes should be made what are they? Also shoould i get Vista 64 bit or 32 bit, and i also wasnt sure if i should get a wireless N or G card. This laptop overall will cost under $800 (*including tax and shipping*) , if anyone knows of a better deal or of something else i should get please let me know. Thanks

It will run WoW on high, but for $800 you can do better.

64-bit isn't necessary for a laptop since it typically does not carry enough ram to need it. However, it is a plus in the context of a Vista OS. The most important thing to play games is your video card. Most laptops don't use good ones, and high-end video cards for laptops cost four digits.
