Just in case anyone was wondering, I've been playing SWTOR a bit on my system and it runs just fine. When I play just on the laptop's screen, 1440 x 900, I play with medium detail and the frame rates are fine. On my external, 1080p display, I lower the graphics to low and can easily maintain playable frame rates around 25-30. Medium is just more than the system can comfortably handle at 1080p resolution.
There are no upgrades on this system that affect graphics performance. I'm running the 6490 card and have the stock 4g ram. I have installed an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD but that doesn't impact frame rates in game, mainly just load times.
Oh, everything I'm posting about here is under Window 7 32 bit edition thanks to Bootcamp.
Finally, I've played quite a few MMO's in my time and I have to say the initial impressions I'm getting of this game are pretty positive. Bioware has certainly done their homework on this title and it shows. I like it.
