i'm looking to see which would give me the highest FPS. And what range of FPS would they get?

Definitely the first one,HD 4850 is way better than a 9500GT

I want to max out everything except weather and shadow detail, i keep those two all the way down. Could the first comp give 40-60 fps?

Agree.

Whatever you want it to do, the 4850 is at least 50% faster.

I was about to buy an Asus laptop for 900 dollars, but after reading your post I may have to go with the Alienware.

The Asus I was looking at runs wow at max settings (except shadows) very smoothly.

When you say 40-60 fps, what resolution do you use, and do you have to have 40-60 all the time, or most the time?

If you don't include Dalaran as needing 40-60 fps, then it gets easier.
