Hello and thank you in advance for your responses.  I am a verteren of mmos and have been playing MMOS since the release day of EQ1 and before that I dabbled in MUDS.    I have read many reviews on this game and it appears that I am going to purchase it.  I am going to be acquiring a laptop to play this on because now that I am not a teen ager able to sit around at home playing all day I want to bring this game with me on my business trips.  I have been trying to figure out what is the most important hardware for this game would be.  I was looking a DELL XPS in this configuration

  XPS M1730, Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000(2.8GHz, 800Mhz 6M L2 Cache)  
310-9524
1 PERSONALIZATION SHIELD, LCD COLOR WING OPTION,BLUE  
311-7447
1 4GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm for XPS M1730  
320-5788
1 17 UltraSharp TrueLife Wide screen WUXGA for XPS M1730  
320-5790
1 NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 8700MGT with 512MB GDDR3 Memory  
341-6244
1 160G 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive Free Fall Sensor  
420-8345
1 Windows Vista Ultimate with bonus XP Pro

This is going to be my first "gaming" laptop and I am curious if this game in particular would function better with the upgraded graphics card to a NVIDIA SLI Dual GeForce 8800MGTX with 1 gig of memory and downgrading to a slower processor that would still be over 2.4 with at least 6M of cache to make up for some of the difference in price... the price difference is 700 bucks on the graphics card ... the question is ... is upgrading to that card going to be worth 700 bucks?

Thanks.
