I'm guessing for smooth performance I'll need 8 gig of RAM and 2 video cards (this is really wild guessing on my part).
You DON'T want two video cards. WoW only renders to the primary display (first video card)*; by adding a second video card you are actually slowing your experience down as the system has to pump data across the bus to the other video card. My FPS dropped by around 20FPS by adding a second video card. I haven't had much experience with WoW and SLI'd video cards, but it might work.

My suggestion is to buy the fattest single GFX card you can afford. My Nvidia 8800GT 512MB runs 4 clones just fine, but I would buy a Nvidia 200 series now.

Also (IMHO) I prefer Nvidia over ATI video cards just because I perceive the driver support to be better. And I cannot see any reason for you not to go Vista 64bit.



*So I have read (and experienced); I have also heard that InnerSpace can force WOW to render on the second display, hence working around this issue; but not seen anyone post about it actually working.
That is good to hear, especially if I can get away with a video card less powerful/expensive than the GTX.
