    Not really it is quite old and way behind even current budget cards. What do you plan on using it for?

    It is a pile of crap really

    For World of Warcraft.. go out and buy an ATI 4650 minimum or a ATI 4670 (or 5670) if you raid

    These cards are single slot and do not need new power supplies or extra cables, just download the ATI drivers, slot in graphics card and install the drivers.

    go to pixmania

    4650 - about 30 quid on sale
    4670 - about 50 quid
    5670 (just released) about 90 euro

    No, are you looking at buying a whole new system? Or are you getting a laptop or something?


    Might be a good idea to state exactly what you have now and what you want to do with it in the future

    I'm guessing that's supposed to be "3710"

    Well you can see from this http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-4500MHD-GMA-X4500MHD.9883.0.html that it's certainly not ideal

    Wow will probably run on it's lowest settings at the lowest resolution, though to be technical this would suck balls

    You won't burn anything out, the game will just stutter horribly and be difficult or impossible to play.

    And you cannot upgrade the graphics card in a laptop, only a normal desktop. There are an extremely small number of exceptions to the rule but I'm pretty sure an Amilo wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being one of them :(

    I think even Warcraft would struggle on that Card, to be perfectly honest.
