Re: World of Warcraft random deep freezes

I have Vista RC1 and though I haven't done anything too intensive such as
raids or anything like that, the game runs fine. I have no addons installed
either, so that could be an issue.

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2997MHz
Memory: 1.5GB DDR333
Video: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (NOT THE ATI DRIVERS, I used the ones that Vista
supplied me with)
