    Yeap, WoW can be played with integrated GPUs such as the GMA900, it'll be pretty crappy settings(low res + mid settings, or mid res + low settings) but it runs.

    requirements of MMORPGs tend to be low cause you want as many people as possible to play it.

    I wouldn't suggest it, I tried running it on my Sony laptop and the fps were really bad with the gma 950 (40 man raids). WoW doesn't work well with mac but however I heard they done something in the last few patches and now the fps have doubled.

    If you want numbers I can load it up and check the fps tomorrow.
