    I have gone through your problem or rather i would say that it as the concern regarding the game as well as the system of yours, If you will ask me then i will suggest you to go with the iMac because it has the tendency to handle such types of games. The apple iMac has all the possible qualities to deal with such games in fact the video or the graphical appearance of the iMac is so powerful that will give you an fantastic environment to play this particular, Not only this game apple iMac supports lot of other games of the same caliber, So in my opinion you should go with the iMac instead of the Mac Pro, Hope this one will help you to decide which one is the best in the business.

    If you will ask me then i will suggest you to go with the mac pro because it has the ability to deal with the games, As this games require the high efficiency of video resolution and also the great speed, the thing here is that if you wish to go with it then it would prove to be the best deal for you and also all the requirements of the game are fulfilled by it, I want to suggest you this one because it is one of the the fastest Mac ever with up to 12 cores of processing power, advanced graphics, and lots of possible configurations. I hope that your game will run fine in this one. If not satisfied then you must visit the Apple official site to gain more information. What it will do is will provide all the specification of the system and then you will be to sort all your queries also the other important thing that i want to mention here is that it has the highest video resolutions which will provide you the best gaming output.

    Re: What is better for WoW: iMac or Mac Pro?

    I was also facing the similar confusion a few days back and also was not able to choose a better one in between them, But in you case i think that i can help you in a better way, I want you to use the iMac system if you are not using the Cataclysm, What it does is t gives you the best of the video outputs that will help you tho play the game efficiently, And if in case if you want he Cataclysm on your system while playing the game then i will suggest you to go with the Mac Pro, Because the thing here is that iMac is not compatible with the Cataclysm and Mac Pro does, so this is the reason why i want you to go with the each one of them in different condition , mow here the choice is all yours. You have to make the better one to be as your system and install the game on it and enjoy it till the last moment.
