I bought one of them £350 notebooks from PCworld last friday(so far only used it to uninstall loads of cr*p it came with and make recovery disc)

I do know ram can be replaced easily, but most notebooks you cant change as even if it has an empty slot, all graphics cards are different sizes!

All I want to play is WOW and Call of Dury United Offensive, both old games.

Upgrading laptop components is very difficult, typically the machines are put together under very tight thermal tolerances. Upgrading something like the graphics adapters could push the cooling fitted to the machine, past it's limits.

I just want to play wow or medal of honor(old games) on it.

I dont want any newer games than that, though maybe Battlefield 1942, but WOW and Medal Of Honor is all I need(its just for when im in bed and knackered)
