Linkz.. ur rig is good enough to play. WoW's "highest" setting will differ from pc to pc as it depends on ur hardware. imo, u will have no problem enjoying the game with what u have now. Its the gameplay and fun factor that made this game the most played mmo worldwide & not its graphics. WoW gfx has been known to take a back seat to other mmos out there like EQ in terms of realism. WoW takes on a a diff type of gfx (not realistic & human like), one that is consistent and evident in all warcraft games. I like it a lot.

I second Bogardan comment.

LinkZ, your setup is about same as my.
And you don't need to setup everything to MAX.
That will cost you a bomb, likely 5k+ PC.

For me, the improvement from 512 M -> 1 G is especially when I crossing zone, no more pc-lagging.
pc-lagging still occured, but far lesser and very short.

The next important performance for the online gaming is your connectivity.

good luck, have fun

RAM is the important factor here. Last time when I had 512mb of RAM, I always lag when flying into IF. Now, with 1256mb of RAM, I fly in and out without any lag.

Graphics card plays a small role actually, I do raiding and PVP on my this miserable (but lovable) laptop and it's fine smile.gif

So I would say:
Connection >> RAM >> graphics card.

go 2gb if you think you can splurge.

My rig: Pentium IV 2.4c, 4x512mb DDR333 Ram, Leadtek 7600GT TDH 256mb

Performance: All bells and whistles turned up max and no lag whatsoever, 40-60fps but goes sub 20fps in Orgrimmar on peak hours.

Its ok but I have to turn down a lot of settings or else they will murder my FPS. Not to mention I am playing under 1680x1050 screen size.

"Max settings" may not be a good measure of rig performance because WoW max settings will differ from pc 2 pc due 2 hardware. The correct measure would be the resolution that WoW tells you is your max res with current hardware vs fps. my 2 c.
