The CPU is a LOT better than the minimum WoW requirements. It is not a
Celeron, it is a Celeron M, which is basically a Pentium M without the
2MB of cache. And that makes it still faster than a Pentium-4 2.4.
However, the RAM is abysmally low (nothing less than 1gb will cut it)
and the graphics card simply won't make it.

Agreed on the RAM (Crucial for additional ram).
Agreed on the CPU, it'll be fine.

Not having attempted to play WoW on it yet, I wouldn't jump to the
conclusion that your CPU will be 'fine' for playing it, just yet. It *may*
allow you to play at absolute minimum on all graphics settings, but
I highly doubt it will be very fast or enjoyable. And depending on the
speed of your harddrive and its bus, you'll be spending a lot of time
waiting for stuff to load when logging in and zoning... Ironforge on
a busy night... <shudder>. Good luck to you if you can get it up and
running on there, but I hope you don't mind playing the game at
settings that do it no justice whatsoever.
