Check this out.

BTW, it's cheaper (and very easy) to install your own RAM upgrade afterwards than it is to pay Apple for it.

To Rock:

The MacBook you're purchasing (I have the same one) has an integrated Intel graphics chipset (Intel GMA X3100). While it's a very good integrated graphics chipset and can display to high resolutions, it's not the best for games that require fast graphics like Warcraft. You really should have a machine with dedicated graphics such as you find on the MacBook Pro.

Having said that, Warcraft will probably run OK. Adding more memory as has been suggested will certainly help.

Regards.

Thanks for the RAM suggestion, I will definately do that,

Can it be upgraded higher than 4g?

And chscag:

Thanks, yeah, I am going to be getting an iMac as well and it should run it perfectly, it is okay if it runs it on low graphics.

4 Gb is as high as you can go. That should be plenty though, even if you decide to run XP or Vista. You're also getting an iMac? When you do, order the best graphics card offered. Have fun.

I agree. I have the G5 and it ran great for a while, then started to slow and lag horribly. I installed an additional 2gb of Ram, putting me at 2.5gb. It now runs perfectly, and i no longer lag anywhere. Enjoy!
