Panel 1: Chloe is at a laptop and Bink approaches.
Bink: Whatcha doin’?
Chloe: I’m dual-boxxing World of Warcraft, rendering machinima in After Effects, and running batch processes in Photoshop.
Panel 2:
Bink: Ah, testing the hardware to make sure we’re in top shape for the new expansion, huh?
Chloe: No.
Panel 3:
Chloe: It’s almost ready…
Panel 4: Chloe is now laying on the piping hot laptop.
Bink: Of course! Naptime temperature optimization!
Chloe: Aaahh…
i don’t think things are going to be that bad… Blizz would be foolish to make the expansion not run on the current $12 million subscriber’s machines (dollar mark on purpose). Micro$oft would love them if they did, and so would Dell, HP, but Blizz is looking out for itself. So, if WoW runs good for you now, expect it to run good when the expansion drops.
Actually, WoW *was* running absolutely GREAT on my machine…until patch 4.0.1 dropped. Not even the expansion, just the friggin’ patch! Now I’m lucky if I get 30 fps in the Barrens. Seriously, Bli$$ard, wtf?
Have you tried lowering some of the video settings? After 4.0.1 Blizz defaulted the graphics settings really high – frustrating for me until I lowered most of them. With the lowered settings it runs just fine. While I would enjoy the upgraded graphics, I’m willing to trade out for fps.
You know, I used to think this was cute until my cat just yesterday reset all of my photoshop settings that took my months to customize when I went to the bathroom…

C and B should get a Mac book Pro they run very hot, well the ones at my work place do. Most people only have it on there laps once
Macs: It’s so thin it can fit into an envelope!
“But where’s the fan?”
“…Fan?”
It’s so thin the heat can just go right out (into your lap).
