My loving wife loves to play World of Warcraft, but my computer from college finally kicked the bucket and she is forced to use my customized HP laptop that I bought for grad school...so it doesn't have the best graphics...We are on a relatively tight budget, please help! Hoping to not have to replace within 3-5 years...
