Only 512 mb RAM w/ 128 mb ATI X300 SE video card, and it was oldish / full HD so WoW didn't play too well  I'm talking, I could barely walk into Org without lagging so bad that I moved once every 10 + seconds, or I would timeout all together.
Man, I loved that computer. Until it got slow and such.  I used to play WoW on it through Dial-up when WoW first came out
Now I got a new HP laptop  2gb RAM and an nvidia 8600 GS, and WoW plays very well
I would say get a computer with at least a gig of RAM and a dedicated video card and you should be fine.

i just made a budget pc.
And a friend of mine went to China and bought all his computer parts for about $1000 without a pc case .
I made him buy a p900 antec andvance gaming case.
his specs were /are very good but the price is very high.
He bought a gaming pc. hard core gaming pc.
C2D processor 2.13ghz.
A f@$@#$ kewl mother board. i have all the boxes of his pc at my home.
I think its a gigabyte. ( a very expensive one)
2 gb memory.
250 gb hd.
gts sli 320 mb nvidea videocard . teh pawn.
a 600 watt power suplly .
Thats one rich chinese kid.
I setted his pc at my home.
the only thing i want to add to my rig is his motherboard and his videocard.
But if you live in the US and you want to build a similar one.
It will cost you atleast 800 or 900 bucks .
Hong kong is too expensive. XD
But my pc is yet to be finished .
If you want a guide to set up your pc and stuf or links on how to install windows xp or anything i can help you out .
But on what budget do you want to set your pc ?
