Since I’ve noticed alot of hits from google for Burning Crusade I think I should probably show off / explain some stuff. First and foremost my laptop is a Lenovo 3000 N100 which equates to:
Hardware

• Intel Core Duo T2500 2GHz
• 1.5GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
• 100GB 5400 RPM SATA Hard drive
• nVidia GeForce 7300 GO 128MB integrated video with Turbo Cache (PCI Express x16)
• 15″ Widescreen (16:10) LCD, 1680×1050 Native

Software

• Slackware 11.0
• Dropline Gnome 2.16.2
• Kernel 2.6.19.1
• nVidia Binary Driver 1.0-9746
• Cedega 5.2.3, Engine 5.2.9
• World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade 2.0.5 Build 6320 (Release)

Prior to Burning Crusade I got about 30-45 FPS indoors and 15 FPS outdoors while playing with this Config.wtf. Now with Burning Crusade the performance has not really changed at all.

My Cedega settings are here:
General
Video
System Info

Screenshots of the results of course are available in the gallery.

Errata

Two things to look out for:

1. If you have the Collector’s Edition DVD, there is no visible installer on it. Copy the Installer.exe and from the first CD and use that to install.
2. Most likely the patches will not run under Cedega, I used Wine 0.9.24 to run the patches. The installer was run through Cedega without issue.
