Will WoW run OK on this system?

[KoolDrew]

I have a system with 384MB of RAM, P4 1.8GHz and an MX420. I know WoW is not really graphic intensive, but what about the amount of RAM I have?

uh I dont know where you heard it isnt graphic intensive, but its graphics/lighting are ridiculously beautiful. Your ram is not sufficient. People recommend a gig, 512 is the absolute minimum, but you will have a lot of lag when there are many characters on screen.

It is going to be very slow and choppy with that system. Not sure why everyone reviewing it says it is not "graphic intensive" True, the graphics are sub-par and completely suck when you find out how slow they run. I remember a few people raving about how good the game looks for the minimum requirements. Yeah? Well the minimum requirements are way to low for this game.

I played WoW, awesome game. But the graphics engine is complete crap, really, seriously and no exageration.

EDIT --

Before someone tries to refute that, let me explain. The graphics engine is very low polygon count. It does a good job of looking good, while keeping the polygon count of a 1998 game. Yes, the art-work is campy and therefore in some ways, makes the game look beautiful. But from a graphics standpoint and the hardware that is required to run them, uhh... Completely rediculous.

Needs more ram. Large cities and RAIDs were practically unplayable on my 512 MB machine. I bumped it up to 768 and that makes things 10x better. 1 GB or more would be ideal.

Not graphic intensive? Even my A64 4400+ and 7800GTX sometimes have hard time in large raids and such (drops to around 26-27fps occasionally).

i can run it "ok" on my dell 700m.. 1.6ghz pentiumM, integrated graphics... takes a long time to load in origrimmar, and i haven't done raids.. so i guess, i would say that it runs poor.. i do however run it in a windowed screen instead of full screen.. it's playable if you don't have any other option

Not graphic intensive?? I run an AMD 64 3500+ with 1Gig of RAM and a X800XL and it chugs in big raids.

AMD 64 3200+ 1GB, 6600GT and even I have some issues with WoW turned up.

I used to play on a Athlon 1.4, 512mb, and Ti4200 and that had hissy fits with WoW.
