I will note that when I first ran WoW on my mac, it was
a bit below the system specs but still ran (I turned most
of the video options down/off). That is, the code doesn't
appear to refuse to run if it thinks the hardware is below
the minimum, but Blizzard won't guarantee it'll run.

I'm playing on a Dell Inspiron E1505 that has a Intel 1.66 duel core, 2 gig
ram and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 with 256 meg ram, and in the beta I
cant turn it all the way up, but it still looks good, the only time I really
have a problem in the beta is in the towns where a lot of people are.
