Both Cedega
(http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/games/alphabrowse.mhtml?letter=W)
and CrossoverOffice
(http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?letter=w)
support WoW

Wine supports it too, supposedly
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9262,
http://frankscorner.org/) but I've had troubles using wine in Fedora:
I tried running openCanvas in it and it wouldn't work.
CrossoverOffice ran it perfectly and even supports wacom tablets out
of the box.

To reiterate: yes it's possible




Ahh - perfect!

I'll experiment a bit before wiping his drive.


I was playing it until a few months ago using Cedega and my hardware
is gefore 7900 GS with 2gigs ram and Athlon64 and WoW works quiet ok
at about 40fps 1024x768 res.
I would put it that it's down to anywhere between 25% to 50% less
performance than on windows depending on where you are in WoW and
number of mobs/players in your area.

I'm running WoW on my dual core AMD machine using 64Bit Fedora 7 with
wine 0.9.44 with no problems at all and have been for quite a while. I
used the following as an invaluable source on getting everything running OK.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine

thats the wiki also mentioned on http://appdb.winehq.org which is the
site i really recommend to push your knowledge and experiences to.
