Hey all. Saw some info buried in some other posts regarding this, so figured I'd drop a line on the 'official specs' then let you know what I'm running, maybe some others can add more detail regarding their set ups for comparison.

Quoted specs are (blatantly plagerized from MS's post):

I'm running on an ancient Mac and in my PC mode I'm speccing:
2.18 Intel Duo core
2gigs RAM
Radeon X1600 with 128Meg onboard
Windows XP, SP2

I can get up to 1440x900 resolution but have to keep the graphics parameters off the highest settings. Toned down one notch, they're still very acceptable with framerate quite good and lag at minimum (if at all). With resolution set at 1200x800 all is ducky. Only problem I've encountered is entering into a player saturated area (can anyone say 'the auction house at Ironforge?'). Saying that, its pretty much the same specs I was running with WoW and WHO, all is better than acceptable.
