Which Processor would be better for playing world of warcraft on?
the e7500 has a faster clock speed but the e8200 has the bigger cache and the faster FSB.

Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale 2.93GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor 1066FSB
Intel Core2 Duo E8200 Wolfdale 2.66GHz 6M Dual Core 1333MHz Socket LGA 775

I'd go with the E8200. Among other things it should OC higher.

Im going to say the e7500 cause it should Oc higher. The e8200 has a 8x multi and the e7500 has a 11x multi so it will be easier to oc the e7500. It will be tough to get the 82000 to 4.0 and easy to get 7500 to 4.0

I would also consider the e5200 it will OC to 4.0 also, and its half the price.

For WoW I seriously recommend a quad core.

wow will run fine on either, I have a MF Pentium II 550 (running at 731) with a radeon 9200 (old school, not the HD stuff) and it plays wow in 1024 * 768 fine
