Intel drivers for linux aren't great, my guess is you're using the i810 intel driver.
This is NOT a fault of linux, but rather Intel being lazy and stopping their development of the drivers for your card series in 2004 (or so).
The linux community has since updated the drivers, but the drivers & your card have terrible opengl support which is required to run WoW under linux.
I'm by no means saying you can't run WoW on your system, it's worth a shot, but success stories with that card aren't flooding these forums.
First check to see if you have direct rendering enabled:
Alt+F2 then type: gnome-terminal
and click run (open or whatever it says)
In the terminal type:
Code:
glxinfo | grep rendering
If this returns Direct rendering: no
Search around the forums for howto setup hardware rendering on your card with the i810 driver.
If you're unsure which driver for intel series cards you're using type (in the same terminal window)
Code:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
It will return something like this:
Driver "kbd"
Driver "mouse"
Driver "
nvidia"
Where mine says nvidia yours will say most likely "i810".
