can you send me a link? Will I need to upgrade my power supply?

Its the pny nvidia geforce 9400 gt. look a little. If your powersupply is under 300 watts i suggest you might want to look into it. Otherwise u should be ok.

I'm not a big fan of PNY brand video cards...  IMO substandard quality control.

Also consider the GT240 - it's power requirements are lower for a given performance level than the 9000 series.

As others have said, WoW has relatively low system requirements.  It's even playable (minus Dalaran and probably raiding) on a GMA950 + Intel Atom based netbook!

What about this one?

In some of the smaller Acer Xxxx Series of SFF Computers, they had similar cards installed in their towers. Something like G200 or whatever it is . It was a rebranding of the Geforce 9400.

That should do the trick.  Performance wise it's somewhere between the 9600 and 9800, but consumes less power due to a manufacturing process shrink.  It's reasonably priced too, I can't find it significantly cheaper anywhere else.
