anyone know whether this "business" video card can play games like WoW? 512MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 120M TurboCache™

i'm looking to get the Latitude D820 ...

man I'd imagine so, though I'm not sure how the workstation cards work with DirectX games -- not sure if WoW has directX goofiness or if it's sweet and openGL'd :).

If the card has directX support than I'd imagine it has at least the necessary openGL support necessary to play WoW.
Keep in mind their 'TurboCache' system generally is shared-memory, you may want to check that, I'd be concerned if someone made a card that had 512MB of shared memory eep!

I'll check tomorrow after my exams if noone else googles this up for you.

From what I understand, it's a 256MB video card + 256MB shared RAM, for up to 512MB memory. It's intended for business apps (like CAD) so YMMV on the gaming. Dunno how the speed compares with game optimized cards - haven't seen any reviews yet.
