    Guys,

    I hav been searching for this one, haven't found posts regarding this. Will this game run on a Macbook 2.0 with 2 gb ram? I'm holding on on buying the game and Data Blitz just gave me 3 days for the reservation :)

    thats the reason why i decided on getting the macbookpro instead of the macbook, that was my deciding factor, WOW's playability, i didnt want to booting from one OS to another just to play a game

    macbooks only have an integrated intel gma 950 video card. Not meant for any serious gaming.

    My friend has the Macbook 2.0, and WoW is playable, but some hickups here and there. The thing with the intel gma video card is that the more ram u have the bette rit will go

    Gosh I'm running Wow on a ibook g4 933mhz. Its not the best graphical experience but for me its "playable". The term "playable" is different for everyone I guess.
