It'll definitely run them, maybe even at full settings on fairly high resolution (1680x1050) depending on whether you demand that it run at a smooth full 60 fps with v-sync enabled, or are more tolerant of slightly lower frame-rates.

Dood, dumpster diving.  Crazy as it sounds, head to companies and check out their dumpers.  You would not BELIEVE the stuff they throw away.

This one company, when they get new models of any form of tech, they just throw the old away.  It's how I acquired a few of my 8 GB flash drives, a wireless setup, a few of my older systems and monitors and my collection of keyboards, mice and speakers. ;)

Of course...most companies don't LIKE you digging through their refuge...so...yeah.

WoW is getting huge though, so you have to have over a terabyte nowadays just to play it.

Hard drive space has very little to do with your computer's performance, and ability to run games.

Anyway, my computer has two 512 GB hard drives adding up to a full Terrabyte of internal storage, and I have a 2 TB external.

If you want to talk performance:

1.6 GHz (2.8 GHz Turbo Mode) Quad Core processor  (It behaves as though it has 8 cores though)
6 GB DDR3 RAM
1GB ATI RADEON HD 4650 graphics card

DAAAAAAMNNNN!!!!!!!......Yea i know but space really helps when your ram sucks so you use huge paging files....i only have 384Mb of ram since my card went haywire, but now i have over 4Gb thanks to optimized paging files.

Oh if it's Performance then:

2.3 GHz Intel Quad Core processor (don't think it has turbo mode ><)
4 GB DDR2 RAM
512GB Dedicated  +1GB shared Nvidia Geforce G105M

It's a laptop .... don't expect too much of it >< lol

3.1Ghz AMD Dual core processor
4GB DDR2 RAM
500gb onboard plus 500gb external
nvidia geforce 7300 se
And if it matters I've got a Windows XP, Ubuntu 10.10 dualboot setup.

Nothing fancy but i'm more than happy for the meantime.
