You really should want more hot air moving out of the case more so than anything else and from one direction to the other (e.x. from front to back or from bottom to top, etc). Trying to flush the case with fresh air without any air moving out is going to make things worst for you.

I would be a good example of a Phenom II 2.0Ghz Quad-Core (the laptop quad-core). Those FPS values look just about right. Long story short, any one of those processors should have no problem with SWTOR.

Didi you try doing it with an AMD Llano APU? Yes, it's not quite a dedicated GPU but it will beat the crap out of any integrated video device I know of and it should be plenty for SWTOR. Then later on when you have the cash to upgrade you can do dual graphics (e.x. AMD A8-3850 & Radeon HD 6670). I wouldn't go any lower than an A8-3850 though. Just a though, although I'm sure someone will disagree.

SWTOR logins and EA/Origin logins really really need to be separated. It's apparently a disaster that's already happened. Mind as well spare anyone else a potential problem...

I always use SWTOR and I pronounce it "swo tor". What's the big deal?

I was actaully hoping for space combat something like STO has. Instead I got shifted back to a single-player Rail Shooter from 1993 with slightly better graphics than the SNES game I'm referring to. It's an okay mini-game, but at what it is currently, it really doesn't add much to SWTOR at all IMO. Don't get me wrong, I like the game, I was just expecting a little more as far as space combat is concerned.

That's okay with me, I never played WOW. I'll have to take your word for it...

That's the idea yes...

Hopefully Guild Wars 2 comes out soon so the SWTOR forum squatters have something else to attack...

2.0 GHz AMD mobile Quad-Core and I'm not having any problems at 1920x1080 everything high except shadows. 45+ FPS all day, slightly lower in fleet. Most the people who are complaining about performance issues probably have 80+ background processes running while trying to run SWTOR with their computer wrapped in blankets. I honestly think the FPS issues are such a farce. Apparently there are people with desktop computers twice as power as my laptop and are getting almost single digit frame-rates 24/7? What?

Your looking at roughly a 20 ~ 30 FPS difference from the lower end card compared to the higher end card on a "normal" DX 9/10 game considering at least 1080 resolution and 4x AA ~ 8x AA. On SWTOR however, they will probably be very similar at the resolution you want to run the game at. It's up to you which one you want to go with, but the higher end card is quite a bit better regardless.

Integrated Graphics <------- That's your problem. That graphics platform offers NO dedicated video memory. I have a laptop with a AMD Phenom II N930 2.0 ghz quad-core & Radeon HD 5650M: High on all settings except shadows @ 1920x1080 gives me 45+ FPS all day (slightly lower in fleet). This laptop is over a year old, originally cost $715 USD after rebates and was very middle of the road then. Next time you want a laptop with the intention of gaming on it, ask someone if you aren't sure what to look for. Don't trust a name brand, you need to find someone who knows specifications.
