WoW running real slow.

Do you play on a heavily populated realm? What speed CPU does it have and what video card? Looking at what sort of Mac laptop would do me for playing WoW.

I use the same as Viro, but with 512mb ram if I remember correctly.

WoW ran well... except for the Auction House. I was on Dragonblight.

Stopped playing though, study, plus the fact that I don't think my money was actually being invested that well, it was pretty poorly done, IMO.

Oh, specs: 1.33Ghz processor.

I'm on Kor'gall which is a full server(i.e. usually queue 30 minutes to log on). My machine is similar to Convert's, which is a Powerbook 12" with a 1.33 G4 processor, a 64 MB nVidia Geforce fx5200 and 1.25 GB RAM. Oh and a nice 7.2K RPM hard drive too

It runs fine and I have no complaints. Even in the auction house at Ironforge. You might need to get more RAM if you are experiencing slow downs, or get a better net connection. I think the Powerbook 12" specs are the bare minimum to play WoW comfortably.

With WoW, the RAM is probably the most common initial bottleneck for any system that meets the minimum requirement. Although Blizzard recommends 512 MB, a system with that much RAM will be using the hard drive a lot more than a system with say 768 or 1 GB of RAM due to virtual memory. I think 768 MB of RAM is the absolute bare minimum but highly recommend at least 1 GB of RAM.
