According to the minimum requirements of World of Warcraft, it says that I need a computer that has a 1.4ghz processor. However I don't know if this number is still correct wether its refering to a single core or dual core. Becuase I know I would probably have to run on low settings, I found a reasonably priced computer with 1.3ghz but its dual core athalon. But judging on the minimum requirements, 1.3 is less than 1.4 but does that mean it won't work? Because I think the spec is talking about single core? Any help would be appreciated.
