WoW isn't very demanding, it can definitely run WoW at the highest settings.

I hope so, That was terrible, for those of you that don't know what happened, what happened was my Alienware stopped working (don't remember what was not working). So a guy came over and didn't know what was wrong so we sent it in (IN PERFECT CONDITION) and when they got it, it had a huge crack down the side and they said that we did it, it might have been the truck but were not paying 4,000$ again. lol

10, we don't want it to get to the 10th though, that means it's been canceled.

It won't get canceled, It would only be canceled if we wanted it to be.

No, Phase 8 is the Inspection and Pre-Shipping Phase Phase 9 will be when it was shipped.

So Early Next Week Probably.
