With the 128mb version of the x1600? Along with all graphical bells and whistles turned on? The reason I ask is that I can get a 20" imac for pretty cheap. And i'll upgrade it to 2gb of ram right of the bat. Only drawback I can see is the 128mb on the video card instead of 256mb.
And yes, i've done a search. I haven't seen another question like mine.

I play WoW on my 20" iMac with the Radeon x1600 128MB. It runs fine, and I have every effect set to its maximum value. I do have 2GB of RAM, and never played WoW on only 512MB of RAM.

Check the Games forum. There are discussions like this all the time concerning platforms for WoW. And you'll be talking to people who already own 2.0ghz Intel iMacs'.

The extra VRAM shouldn't have much impact on WoW.

Seconded... especially at 1680x1050 with no Anti Aliasing and relatively low-res textures.

But I would turn on full AA. Or can you not do that on a Mac?
