RAM was my main issue with WoW I had 512MB of paired corsair XMS PC3200 which was sufficient until WoW. Once WoW was running certain areas resembled powerpoint slideshows (flying into/out of Ironforge for example) I upped my memory to 2GB of generic PC3200 and the issue went away.Wow is not too graphically challenging. My AIW9700pro ran it nicely. Now with my 7800GT it's still smooth, but games like FEAR, and HL2 run much better. In fact with WoW, my gfx card's fan does not kick up to high rpm - run FEAR for 30 seconds and hoover is in the house.

I'm not sure you'll need more than 1GB for WoW, but 512M is just not good enough.
