[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 217730, member: 8287"] I take it you are running WOW in OSX and Not Windows with Boot-camp? If so I am almost sure that WOW is not a Universal application and is running under Rosetta which is an Emulator that emulator the Power PC CPUs used in the G4 and G5 Macs. That would explain the slowness of that game. The other problems you are having sound like you got two dud machines. Strange. I messed with both the 15" and 17" MBP tonight and did not feel it was running all that HOT. The 15" was not that hot at all, with the hottest part over by the Mag Safe connector. To me it was Warm and this machine had been running all day in Comp-USA. The 17" was a bit hotter but it was working playing videos for who knows how long. Neither seemed that hot. Very warm at best. Good luck. Again the Slowness of WOW will get taken care of when they release a universal version that runs on the Intel CPU natively. [/QUOTE]
