Will it run, yes.

Will it play well, not really. That's a pretty weaksauce processor (single-core, low clock speed, tiny L2 cache) and both WoW and TF2 (and all Source engine games) love CPU power.

What kind of budget are you working with here?

PewPewLazerKittyz

Well between 300-500 I know its not alot but it's what I can afford.

Mainly I want to play WoW on it at max settings with High FPS.

With that budget you'd probably have to look at a desktop instead of a laptop (assuming based on that display) to get the sort of performance you are looking for.

I agree, it's not gonna happen at all with that configuration.

Buying a single core processor now a days is pointless. Even a modest dual core system is going to provide significant gains in gaming and general usage.

Yeah, I'd also recommend springing for a dual-core processor. You get much more out of it if you do.

With your budget this, and only this.

The best possible bang for buck is still a desktop, by far.

It's more useful to have a decent Desktop for gaming plus a netbook for portability than a mediocre laptop that is not as powerful as the desktop neither as portable as the netbook.

under no circumstances buy single core if you can avoid it
