If you up the RAM to at least 1 gig, than you might be able to play it without any eye candy at 600x800

It should run just fine with lower-end graphical settings across the board. Search the forums to find other users' personal experiences with WoW on their Mac Minis.

Get prepared to add $100 some odd dollars to that price tag for a copy of Windows XP home edition, because the computer won't run in it's current condition.

*points to thread in sig*

The mac mini and macbook are very similar graphics wise. BTW I have NO trouble with WoW. I can sometimes even turn up the draw distance a bit and still be able to play! :eek:

He means that while WoW will run on either OSX or Windows XP, that computer has neither so you need to provide your own copy of Windows XP which will run you about $100.
