If you're not adverse to it, get an i7 processor. It's what I'm upgrading to.
(The CPU/Mobo combo I have off newegg)

6Gb DDR3 RAM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145222
Total cost: 743.98
Just saying it's an option if you're building a new computer.

I would say another HDD, don't know if it's true but 2 WoW Folders (1 Runs 2 the other 3 Instances of WoW) increased my FPS.

If it has an eSATA2 (how is it called?) port?! then it's fast enough, I've got my Windows on an external HDD with esata2, there's no Problem with that, don't know about USB2
IEEE1394 / Firewire 400Mb/s
USB2 480Mb/s
eSATA2 /SATA2 3.000 Mb/s
it's only a sixth (hope this is right too -.- still too many Gaps[I meant 1/6]) of an eSATA2 port. But maybe it's enough. Can't try that out, because my Windows would be lame as shit I guess.

You can run wow from an external hard drive with USB.
For a little bit I played WoW over my network. I didn't have a HDD big enough for windows AND wow so I put wow on my old clunky server and shared the folder.

Ok so if i got an hdd and put it on so n so drive as you said i could in fact move wow off laptop completely and put it on the external drive. Wonder if that would speed my computer up hmm. Low fps low latency. If this would work i think i will go buy a good external hdd and try it out free up some space on computer.
