Sadly, though I don't think I can upgrade ram without getting a whole new motherboard, as I don't think my Asus A7V133A supports DDR ram. And gettting a new motherboard, ram, and possibly a processor is out of the realm of financial possibilities, at least until I get my tax refund.

Though, all things considered, I'm fairly impressed with how well my computer runs WoW. I typically get around 20fps when not in a major city, running at 1024x768. In Orgrimmar, though, I usually get anywhere from 3-8fps, and when I first hearth in I know I'm going to have to wait a couple minutes before I try to move.

SDRAM is not all that hard to find yet. If WoW is the most taxing game you plan on playing for the next year or two, it might be worthwhile. But if you expect to upgrade your platform in the not-too-distant future anyway, it might be a waste of money, because you surely won't be using PC133 SDRAM on whatever your next motherboard is.
