Default Video card question

I'm looking to buy a new laptop and i was wondering if a nVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7300 with 128MB Graphics RAM with a Intel Core Duo T2350 (1.86GHz, 2MB L2, 533MHz FSB) processor would run Guild Wars on med-high settings cleanly with pretty good FPS. Any comments would help. Thank you.

It isn't exactly a high-end chip but it's still several times as fast as most integrated trash that some people actually manage to play the game on. GW should be quite playable with a GeForce Go 7300, if not at the highest settings.

For a comparison, an Intel GMA 950 scores about 130 points in 3DMark06, while the GeForce Go 7300 scores about 700. Current mid-range desktop graphics hardware's scores are around 4000.

Thanks for the information. My current PC has a nVidia GeForce4 MX graphics card with a AMD Athlon Xp 3200+ processor and it crashes a lot. When i do get to play Guild Wars i usually run 20-30 FPS and the game takes pretty long to load. Initially the average ping is in the high 40,000s but slower goes down to 150-300 on the lowest settings. I defrag my computer every 2 days and it doesn't seem to help Guild Wars much. I also use CCleaner but the lag still continues. I'm pretty new to buying laptops and i would appreciate any recommendations.
