As topic.

Tried 5580 and when I tried to run WoW it said that my graphics card wasn't supported (had directx enabled). So I'm going back to 5160 again. Hope this will be fixed though

Cheers.

DirectX support in build 5580 cannot be turned off. In actuality build 5580 contains two completely different implementations of DirectX support, and the "Enable DirectX Shaders (experimental)" setting controls which one you will get. So try changing the "Enable DirectX Shaders (experimental)" setting and then see if you can then get WoW to work.
 
"Enable DirectX Shaders (experimental)"

Was this listed under Video in configuration mode? If so, I turned it on.

Also, I find it strange that my iMac currently struggles with WoW, a 2.4Ghz C2D shouldn't really struggle with such an old game, right? Having about 60-70% actual CPU load with only the game running.

I'm using a quite fresh installment TinyXP, so there are not alot of background services running either.
 
Same problem with 5582:
"Your 3D accelerator card is not supported by World of Warcraft. Please install a 3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support."
