Default Is it possible to run WoW on a Macbook without dual installing Windows?

I'm a gamer, I play WoW, I'm in a guild that's progressed onto SSC and Mag, and I'm considering switching from PC to a Mac. Realistically, can I run WoW on a Macbook in a 25 man raid using an Leopard, or even running Windows XP? Or would there be to much lag? I've got a solid internet connection, I'm not worried about that at all, it's the specs of the Macbook. With the default video settings in the game, is it at all possible to get no less than say, 15 FPS? Or would an iMac or Macbook Pro be needed to achieve this?

You could try Crossover Mac, VMware Fusion, or Parallels Desktop, but if I were you, I'd dual boot OS X and Windows.

I don't think it is possible without dual boot. I would stick with a PC. I choose PC and I'm not a gamer at all, and for that reason a Mac was a viable option. Since you are a gamer, the best option is clearly a PC with a good video card.
