    OSX.4 Tiger... How good is it going to run for me.

    I agree with Gigglebyte, all data is corruptable regardless of platform. IMHO an erase an install just feels snappier. It's also like re-arranging your apartment. the old was familiar and comfortable. but the new is strange and exciting or maybe i'm just nuts lol :p

    Powerbooks with 2nd display for desktop work...

    She can still have an external monitor, the ibooks do have mirroring, simply connect the external monitor and turn the brightness all the way down on the ibook's LCD. You have to leave the ibook open but that's a small price to pay. Connect an external mouse and keyboard for more fun!

    The 12" powerbook will run it.......albeit slowly... make sure you upgrade your Ram, 512 minimum. WoW is Ram hungry. other than that you should be fine

    DVI 2 VGA 4 Desktop LCD & External Hard Drive speed boost?

    All new generation Macs can be booted from an external disk, so that's what he means by speed increase as your external drive will: 1) be on the firewire bus 2) have a higher RPM/storage capacity also, the 15" PB comes with a dvi->vga adaptor
