Get those opt-ins ready for the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm closed beta! The sundering of Azeroth is nigh, and you don’t want to be left out in the cold of Northrend when you could be enjoying the sun-drenched beaches on the goblin isle of Kezan. To ensure you’re opted-in and eligible as a potential candidate, you’ll need a World of Warcraft license attached to your Battle.net account, have your current system specifications uploaded to the Battle.net Beta Profile Settings page, and have expressed interest through the franchise-specific check boxes.
So get your opt-ins set up, updated, and ready; we're worgen real hard to get the beta going soon!

I just tried it and got this:
ALL PRODUCTS
We are sorry, but we couldn't find any results matching your search term or the article you have tried to view is currently not available.
Not sure what that means.
But the beta profile shows on my account.

Submitted my profile. Here's hoping that they're looking for people using different computers; I'm probably one of few that are using a netbook, maybe they want people to test it on crappy machines too. XD

Hopefully not a lot of people use high-end machines...

They'll probably pick a wide array of machines to test, even the crap ones. Here goes for laptops with chipsets.

Netbooks have no real screen drivers, they use something else I can't remember for it, as they aren't really meant to be used for pretty 3d stuff. They're supposed to be used for just quick access to the Internet, nothing more.
Edit: damn, so this indeed IS a laptop with a chipset. :P Go me and my nonexistant knowledge with stuff like this.

10 point penalty for use of a flagrant pun!
Gawd I cringe at the thought of how many more worgen related puns this will spawn.
But on the plus side thanks for the reminder Adam.
