If I were you I'd just pick up a 256 MB stick of RAM.
256 is cutting it REAL close in WoW, and when you have lots of stuff going on at once(say bigger scale PvP or some PvE encounters(Razorgore anyone?) it'll turn to a slideshow with 256 MB.

For reference, my tertiary gaming computer at home is crappier than yours, it's a 1.46 GHz AXP with a GeForce3, but it runs WoW pretty good, the big thing is that it's got 512 MB of RAM.
Even more than 512 is helpful sometimes, but not at all needed.

Thanks! Good points!

256 mb of ram now a days is like nothing

Soon 512 mb of ram will be like that if not there already.

Athlon XP 1800+
abit kt7a raid
256mb of sdram (I know I know very old, slow and outdated for sure)
7200 rpm WD and Maxtor hard drives
Leadtek Geforce 4 ti 4400 (I know I know very old, slow, and outdated for sure)
Santa Cruz sound card

cpu is fine
vid card is fine
need more ram, unles you like not being able to move properly in ironforge/ogrimmar. get 512. i recommend 1gb though.

I just don't really want to get more ram inless I really need to, which I think I do, because I think sdram is more expensive now sense its not the default anymore and ddr ram is now I believe, inless I am really behind lol.

I rather wait when I build a whole new pc because this pc right now isn't the best to upgrade I am sure. Well in my opinion it really isn't I guess.

It seems better to me to maybe just wait and build or almost build a whole new pc soon. Rather a laptop though because of no wires and being able to bring it with me where ever I go no matter if its 10 states away, the supermarket, mall, etc.

I have a feeling the default ram point right now for most people is 1 gig now and will soon be 1.5 and 2 gigs.

You just need a lot of ram now a days.

If you use a laptop at the supermarket/mall, you might be a loser.
