Dunno if you can afford to or not, but if you can, definitely get a newer
PC. If by some chance you can get WoW to run on that thing, you'll be
sorely disappointed in the performance, in all respects.

Agreed, a better machine would be the real solution. the problem is that
we have virtually no spare space (kids) and hence the pcs we have are
laptops.
I'm looking at circa 700-800 quid ($1500) for a really suitable laptop,
similar to the one that I currently use (P-M 2ghz, 256mb x700) in order to
replace the wife's IBM with a gaming laptop. not something I can really
justify if I can get the IBM to run wow, at reduced quality, adequately.
