Nvida cards (100.65) and WoW

Hi,
I was wondering what people's frame rates are with World of Warcraft running
in windowed mode. Specifically people who are using nvidia cards and their
new 100.65 drivers.

Res at 1920x1200 would be nice to know :-)

My card is a 6600GT.

RE: Nvida cards (100.65) and WoW

Well, I run a single 7800gt and have 2 gig ram, and an AMD 64x2 4800+ @2.41ghz
and with XP pro I would get consistant high 50's to 60 fps. After upgrading
to Vista Ultimate (clean install FULL version) my frame rates have been cut
in half. Rarely do i see the frame rates in the 50' range.

Re: Nvida cards (100.65) and WoW

This old boy did just that,

The 158.18 drivers won't install on my Visa Home Premium 64 bit unit that
has
working dual 7800GTX in SLI "in my WinXp SP2 Media 2005 partition".

I tried several times earlier this AM. Twice as Admin.

Any help with this problem?

thanks in advance,
drybones
