WOW - New Graphics Card or more RAM?

[Ruvanal]

Thanks! Ok, so RAM seems to be cruicial. Has anybody here made a RAM upgrade from 512 MB to 1024 MB RAM for WOW and can confirm a significant boost in overall game performance?

Yes, when I upgraded from 512 RAM to 1024 RAM during the beta, I had an enormous change in how well the game handles graphics framerates in most areas. For example most fo the flights changed from a 1-3 fps slide show to an almost smooth rate of 15-25 fps. Some areas like the entrance of SW will still put a bit of chop into the rate though since that area has an excessive amount of vertices and textures for just the terrain (those 4 statues, while nice to look at are a pain for most video cards to track while dealing with all the other stuff at the same time).
