My machine:
Pentium M 1.3
512 MB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon, 16MB
It runs very smoothly normally (feels like 15+ fps, though I haven't actually checked). If I enter an area with lots of players (stormwind, undercity, etc) it starts to chug (disk load/vm mostly, but there's probably a gfx component too), and performance is thereafter kinda sucky (memory leak, probably be fixed by release, but not sure what, if anything, they'll do about performance hit when there's a lot of players). It's kind of hard to play with a touchpad, but I'm getting the hang of it.
Water graphics are messed up, whenever I go near water, random polys start flying around all over my screen.
Everything is turned off, or set to lowest, except for clip plane, which is set 2 ticks from the bottom.
I have a friend whos performance was absolutely atrocious with 256 MB (<1 fps when in large cities). This was fixed by putting in 512 MB more RAM.
