    Warcraft III? I am guessing Warcraft IV is more likely. Of course, who knows if that will happen, WoW is incredibly popular, and resource consuming for Blizzard.
    That being said, I am considering the Macbook Pro, and, WoW would be the only Intel-native app that I get at the moment. With the unholy acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe, I am guessing that it could be as much as 2 years before the majority of the software I use on a daily basis is Intel-native. But, that means that my 1.8Ghz Dual Core should perform like a 933Mhz G4 for a while. So, still a slight upgrade for me, who still runs an 800Mhz. Now, I just have to decide is WoW performance worth an extra $2500?
