I had 512 ram with WoW for a while, it is playable, but if you are in a big pvp battle with more than 10 people (which you always are) then it will lagg so bad that you can barely move. An upgrade to 1gig is needed to enjoy major pvp battles lagg free.

My desktop with 512MB of memory and a GF4Ti4600 128MB runs it fine mostly at medium settings, though it goes down to .5 FPS when I first enter Orgrimmar by fast travel (but picks up to a playable-in-non-combat 14-20 FPS after a few seconds), and has an unexplainable drop to 5 FPS in Crossroads. Also, I've noticed that the game seems to be in texture-memory-saving mode, as the terrain is composed of 40 meterx40 meter blocks of texture without transition and sometimes player models are white. I get my laptop (Radeon 9000 512MB,1GB system memory) back tomorrow; I can't wait for WoW to look pretty again, not to mention being able to check thottbot while I play.
Yeah Org is the place for lagg if your going to have any, it will be there. I used to lagg there like a bitch but now that I have 1gig it's fine.
