How about forgo the hardware limitations and buy a laptop? For the same amount of money you'll shell-out for a "netbook" capable of rendering WoW, you'd be able to buy a laptop far superior in specs (bigger hd, more ram, better video capabilities, more viewable space, and an optical drive). Now if we were talking about a $200 "netbook" capable of playing WoW worth a damn, I would say go for it. Unfortunately, I have only this to say about "netbooks"... the technology isn't there yet.

Is this the first "netbook" with such specs? I've been waiting to see dual-core portable atoms... As to WoW, it would of course be *much* crappier than any C2D-class machine, right?? (although it might approach playable, relative to older netbooks) IANAW (wow'er)...
