very much, yes. Im sure you've noticed, WoW is not a very graphics intensive game, when you consider games like Doom 3 and Fear which are far far superior in graphics. Now when you think those 2 games can give you in excess of 70 - 80 fps with a geforce 6800, but WoW can barely manage 60fps? well thats because WoW relies heavily on CPU speed an memory more than graphics. Think of how big Kalimdor is, and how much your CPU has to work to render those areas without any loading times, thats where you CPU and memory really show their colors.
