System specs for WOTLK realm?

Hey all, first post here. A friend of mine wants to start playing on a wotlk realm (icecrown) and he wanted to know the system specs because he's getting a new PC. Is it safe to assume that this version of wotlk is similar to the one back in the day when it was first released? Because if so, these are the old system specs:
Operating System: Windows XP (Service Pack 3), Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500+
RAM: 512 MB RAM (1GB for Vista users)
Video Card: 3D graphics processor with Hardware Transform and Lighting with 32 MB VRAM (such as an ATI Radeon 7200 or NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or better)

Of course it would be current windows, but my question is how accurate are these specs compared to what would be recommended on Warmane's realm?

Dude, it is 12 years old game. Anything from past 4 generations can run it smoothly

any cheap computer can run this game at least since 2010 or even before minus those crappy exceptions that could barely run browsers with more than 3 tabs on.

he will be fine.
