world of warcraft witha little less than minimum cou speed?

[groovdudeyo]

will it run ok with a little less than the required cpu speed if everything else meets the requirements?

It might not let you install - but if it does, expect major lag when there's more than just a few players on the screen.

If it's a desktop tower (G4, G5) - maybe. If it's an iMac or laptop, out of the question.

I have been playing it for years on a 1Ghz G4 and I game with people playing WoW on a 800MHz G4. I was getting between 7 and 14 fps (7 fps in Dalaran) with the settings minimized so it's just a matter of what you consider playable.

I just picked up a quad 2.93 Mac Pro and playing WoW is much more enjoyable .

yup 1 ghz g4

That's no problems.
I ran WoW on my G4 450mHz before. It's actually okish in the lower lvl areas.

If you wanted to know it runs perfectly and it never has sketchy frame rate or anything even with the settings on full. It did take like 16 hours to download though.
