    how well would a comp play WoW on max settings with the following features:

    8600 GS card
    3 GB of ram
    160GB 7200 rpm HD
    T7700 processor 2.4GHz

    would there be any lag with this card?

    Yeps, WoW isn't that heavy to run, with this system you could probably still run it on high settings for the next ten years or so ;)

    2GB of ram and a T7300 will be way more than plenty for WoW at maximum with AA AF Vsynce and everything you could dream of. 3GB ram and a T7700 is overkill. The 7200rpm drive however is not.

    But I also heard that World of Warcraft has some pretty old and crappy graphics.
