Hmmm. I figured it'd be somewhere around that of a 9800 GT. I suppose that really isn't close to a GTX 260 at all actually haha. But it's settled! I'll get the G72! Thank you for all the great responses and your patience :P.

So it really sounds like I can expect the same performance as what I get out of my desktop EVGA GTX 260 SSC, or close. I'll go for the G72 if only for the extra 2GB memory and bigger HD. The faster CPU clock speed is fine but you're right, WoW isn't like Crysis where it taxes multiple...

Thanks Maziar. She'll also be doing some editing in Photoshop, schoolwork, etc but the difference between the CPUs for that should be negligible in her case. I suppose if I didn't get the Asus G60, the Phenom II with the 5730 would be the next runner up. From what I've read though refurbished...
