Are you serious man? WoW is not that processor or graphic intensive! It will run great!

Hey I just got to make sure haha.. I am going to be a total n00b to the mac. I figured it would, I was chatting with apple support one time and she suggested I get 4GB of RAM for it, I was like really? my AMD 64FX2 2g RAM Nvidia 8800GT runs awsomely. But seriously I just got to you know, got to have my WoW on the go being that friends got me back into it. *shakes fist*

It runs pretty well. I've got that stock configuration, and I keep my graphics mostly maxed, with a few hiccups, but not very many. I cap my fps at 35 to keep my macbook from overheating when it's cranking out more than that, and i'm almost always on 35fps.

I have one of the newer poly carb MacBooks with the GeForce 9400M and WoW runs uber. I've seen framerates of 92fps at times.

Interesting. My current Alienware m7700 (256 mb video card, 3.2 ghz P4, 3 GB of ram) can run WoW on slightly downgraded graphics (ground graphics density and shadows downgraded) without much issue, but does get a little choppy in highly populated areas.

I guess I can expect my new MacBook Pro (2.93 ghz Core 2 duo, 4 GB of ram) which is currently being shipped to run WoW on full blast without any issues at all eh?

Awesome!

well, let's face it - the older polycarbs were gma950 and x3100 chipsets for graphics - which sucks no matter what OS you use.

The 9400m is a huge improvement over intels piece of junk integrated graphics
