Better cpu..Pretty much a upgrade in everything important
I think that would be fine in playing WoW because I've seen it beeing run with that card on youtube and it looked great. It's not like that game takes much to play well anyway, but I think that 512MB of RAM(memory) isn't enough to play WoW without lagging. Uprgading to 1 gig is all you'll need and it will run WoW sooooooo much smoother than 512MB.
