    You'll need to turn a few settings down but you'll be able to get it to run fairly well I reckon. When I was still playing I found turning shadows down to the lowest made a huge difference to performance and didn't affect the visual quality too badly. That said you would of course be better off with a more powerful card.

    What I may do is keep that graphics card for now and then perhaps buy a 5830.

    I have a 4530 in my lappy with only a Pentium Dual Core and it runs WoW with most settings on medium and high with 1280x720 res. You should have no probs running it with your setup, its not overly intensive and scales really well on most systems.

    Why not try the free trial that they do and have a tinker with settings to see if you get the performance that you want before actually buying it outright.

    I already have a few accounts on there, I used to play on a crap laptop with EVERYTHING bottom, including the lowest resolution and it still lagged. I haven't yet bought this system yet so do not want to waste my free 10 days. My brother plays on a 1280 by 1080 screen or something like that with ultra and he has a lower graphics card than both of us, so I should be okay. Apparently the difference between high and ultra or even medium and ultra isn't vastly different anyway.
