I moved back to windows so I could play WoW.

At first I was hey window works great, that lasted about 2 weeks and my system rotted. When the CD drive is accessed the comp slows to a crawl. Basically I completely learned how much better Linux is. But I'm addicted to WoW and I have a laptop that technically can't support the game.
I get stuff like this every so often.

I sit at 10-20 frames a sec with graphics all the way down.

I couldn't get hardware acc with Mandriva.



So, does anyone know of a distro that I can get hardware support.

Radeon IGP 345M.


Oh wireless would be nice too

Lan-Express AS IEEE 802.11G miniPCI Adapter

Thank you

Hello I have Slackware on my Sony Vaio PCG-K45, works great...wireless and graphics work nicely, although I do use a Senao pcmcia card. You have to download the ATI drivers which were a bit of a pain in my case, and I used the linux-wlan-ng drivers for my pcmcia card.
Running Slack with fluxbox on this laptop it runs 100% faster than it does when booted onto the windows partition, well maybe not 100% but it sure feele that way.

To get your wireless NIC to work you'll have to do some research. check out www.madwifi.org and see if your chip is supported for your wireless card. Another site is ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net That uses your windows driver and emulates it on linux.
