    Can a ASUS G1 with a T7200 and a Nvidia Geforce 7700 Go with 512MB of video ram play World of Warcraft smoothly?

    The minimum requirements for WoW are a joke, so yes. Expansion packs are a bit more demanding then the original game.

    If your in the market for a used G1 just stay away from ones with the 8 Series Nvidia's.

    I myself play WOW and own that model. It runs fine on mine, native rez, shadows low, everything else medium to high.....lowest AA. Get between 30-50fps except a little slow somtimes in shattrath and lich king is a little harder on the hardware than the previous Standalone and Burning Crusade expansion.

    But should prove enjoyable, when i'm not on my Quad PC Desktop I play WOW on the road with my G1P. I'm running XP, don't know if that hurts or helps performance much any.
