  try turning off settings that require accessing the CD.
  
  
  
  sounds like either a scratched disc or a dirty lens in your comp.
  
  
  
  if i had to take a guess.
  
  
  
  i should let you know, i have an 800Mhz comp. and it works flawlessly. (bit more ram, but i'm sure that's not the problem)

  Ok I tried turning off enviromental sounds and 3d audio, and lowering the resolution and still sucky performance. Could it be because the powerbook has a slower hard-drive than regular powermacs maybe? It is just so unplayable, just pausing every 5 secs. Oh and the disk is perfectly clean I have no idea why this is happening

  Can you hear or feel if the hardrive is spinning up then stopping? It could be that you have it set to put hardrive to sleep whenever possible.

  it plays fine for me, i'm on the same machine only slower, with pretty high settings.
  
  
  
  could be the lens inside is dirty. there's no reason it should be pausing like that based on the machine's ability to play the game. the problem lies somewhere else.

  Try making the Warcraft CD into a disk image with disc copy. If it works fine with the disk image, then its a CD problem.
