World Of Warcraft

I just bought this computer, hoping it would would run WoW nicely, the specs
looked fine, and they met the standards for WoW, but when i started playing
it was running at about 2-5 frames per-second. I lowered all the Video
options which sya lowereing will increase performance, but it still runs at
2-5fps. Help!

Run a new set of display drivers

I had the same promblem when i upgraded to vista, I never found how to fix it
so at the moment im back on Xp and the game run fine (40+fps).

If you are using NVIDIA, there is a known performance problem with WoW and
Vista.
Try the latest NVIDIA beta drivers, they are supposed to (but I haven't
verified) have performance improvments for WoW.

Not sure if ATI has the same problem or not. I have dual 7900GT's in SLI and
barley get 20 fps, less in busy areas.
