    it looks like it still lets you install it right? Just go for it, it'll be fine.

    Ya, even the M11x R1 should be fine with WoW.
    Just hit the install button.

    Its due to speed step. My CPU sits at 1.2GHZ when O/C on balanced profile. Just go ahead anyways.

    There is no fix require. It's just wow not detecting your processor correctly and thinks that the specs is low but actually it's not. your processor will run just run. so just click install and let it move forward and start downloading/installing
