I haven't been following this game, but I do have it pre-ordered and plan to play. I glanced at the Blizzard webpage and couldn't find any system requirements. This seems odd to me with it so close to release. Did I just miss them? My rig:

Athlon 2400+
1GB RAM
Radeon 9500

Anyone running something similar during the beta?

Runs great here. I don't think you should have a problem running it at all. May have to turn some eye candy off or you could get some video lag in the cities with a bunch of people around, but other than that you should be fine.

Which one piece of those three would be best to upgrade? I'd guess video card.

broadband. I have Comcast 3mb down, 256kb up, open beta ran fine for me. I doubt a modem is going to cut it, but I could be wrong.

Honestly, I don't think you'd need to upgrade your rig for WoW. If you really want to turn up the resolution, maybe a better vid card, but I think you should try it with what you have, then decide. You might find you don't need to shell out the bucks for hardware to go along with your subscription...

I would suggest at least a gig of RAM, beyond that, any decent system should be able to handle it

I played on dial-up for a while when my dsl went down, not the best experience but it was playable. You also have to take into consideration I'm in Michigan and the beta server I was playing on at the time was in California, might be much better with a more local server.
