I have been thinking about getting World of Warcraft when I get my imac next week. The first question is will the game run smoothly on a 1.8 ghz 17" monitor with 1 gig of ram.
The second...could you guys either persuade me discourage me from buying WoW?

The game is extremely buggy. You don't notice them when you first start playing, but as you start to understand your race and class and as you start PvPing (if you're on a PvP server) you begin to realize how many bugs there are. At first, a 4-5 months ago, I'd shrug them off thinking they'd get fixed. But there are some bugs that are still around today that were around in the WoW Open Beta in October.
