So, will it run?
The events of 2004 left the world with many hanging questions. With 2005 up ahead, we are left with an air of uncertainty for several issues, both foreign and local.
Beneath it all however, one question continues to resound the online forums and street talk. That question being,
“Will World of Warcraft run in my underpowered Macintosh?”
It makes perfect sense — carrying around your Mac portable with built in WiFi, logging onto a wireless hot spot and connect to the best game ever made by mankind.
It’s more or less an admitted fact that Mac portables, which make up the minoroty (and therefore a more exclusive “other side of the fence”) of portable computing can’t hack gaming as well as its Windows counterparts do.
It seems that everybody had this question in mind — “have Mac, will try to play World of Warcraft” .. note the operational word is “try.” Here is a link to the answers of that question, covering a whole range of Mac portables.
And just to answer, yes WOW will run on an 800MHz iBook with maxed out 640MB RAM and 32MB of video memory (all settings turned to low). You get around 17 frames per second, which is pretty bearable considering WOW is an adventure game, not a first person shooter.
**hint hint**
Well, someone told me he was married. 
Ah yes. WOW.
I can’t wait for it to hit our shores. I’ve never played pRO (but I am going to the GameFrog on Dec 30 for the drink all you can beer at 200pesos) but I’m raring to play WOW.
