Internet fast, laptop slow?

It's likely to be a memory problem, since games take more processing by te computer. take the laptop to a certified repair place if it's still under warrenty, and have the memmory upgraded

Adding extra RAM does little, if anything, to enhance Net-surfing speeds. Your connection time is only as fast as your connection speed (i.e., if you're on a 56K modem, it will take longer to access the Net, no matter how much memory you have installed). You might want to run an anti-spyware program to scan your laptop for malware that normally impedes system speed and performance. Alternatively, it could also be possible that the server was slow/down at the time you were trying to access the website. Is it ALWAYS slow accessing any website? Clearing your Internet cache/history can help to a certain extent.

If the FRAMERATE is slow, then it's the laptop's ability to display graphics. (In WoW I believe it's Ctrl R to view the framerate). Below 30 and you will notice choppiness. Try turning down the effects in Video properties.

If you have a yellow connection, you may need to turn off your downloads or internet radio if you have those on. Games require more bandwidth than browsing does. If you listed your bandwidth speeds, it would be more helpful. It also can depend on your network traffic, wireless connectivity (if applicable), and ISP.

You may also just need to forward the WoW ports to your computer using the settings in your router. I'm sure http://worldofwarcraft.com/ has some sort of help for this.

Assuming that WoW is World of Warcraft, it has some pretty lenient system requirements. But just because it will work on some slower systems, that does not mean that it will work *well*. You didn't give the specs for your laptop but it almost doesn't matter, you can not upgrade components on a laptop outside of memory and hard drive capacity and even that is not certain on certain models. Increasing your memory should make a noticeable difference but not more than a faster processor and better, accelerated graphics card. Play on a different computer.
