Heya guys,
I got a Dell Inspiron E1705 just before going into college 2 years ago; Radeon X1400 video card, 2 gig of RAM, T5300 dual core at 1.73 ghz. Even at low settings and 1024 resolution it has trouble squeaking out 10 fps during 25 man raids in WoW.
I'm hoping to upgrade the video card but I need some insight. The card isn't integrated, and I ran across some guides from a couple years ago from people who modded theirs (warranty is long gone so no worries about that):
Dell Inspiron E1705/9400 upgrade. Replacing graphics card and installing more memory. >> Inside my laptop

Those are both from 2006 though so I have no idea what are some possible video card options, preferably <$150. I've heard that the Radeon HD 4770 is one of the best $100 card deals but I'm not sure if it would be compatible.
