A 3 GHz processor with 256MB of RAM is a crime - that is like a company hiring the best salesperson they can afford and then making him use a TV tray in the broom closet for his office!
Upgrading your RAM will probably yield noticable improvements for WoW and just about everything else. As Quark said, 256 is very limiting even with graphics settings at rock-bottom. 512 is enough to get the job done well for most parties. With 1 GB you will be able to handle 40-man raids and capital city lag with no problem, with graphics settings much higher.
And if you are not worrying about dual-channel, buying and installing RAM is a very easy and affordable upgrade.
