World of Warcraft on the ATI 200M Notebook GPU

Currently I’m working on a gaming and graphics cards article for PCBurn, and I’ve finally got the ATI 200M integrated on my Compaq laptop running World of Warcraft. As it wouldn’t give me more than blurry squiggels in DirectX 9 and wouldn’t run in OpenGL previously this is pretty cool.

It’ll work okay with all the eye candy turned off at 1024×768 as long as I’m not going through a very densely populated area. Oh, and this is using WINE 0.9.48 along with ATIs latest drivers as of Nov. 6, 2007 on Linux. I’m assuming it runs some variation of “better” on Windows, but I could be wrong.

Also note that the useful information on *how* to do this will be contained and linked to over on PCBurn once I get the article done.
