I hate to be the black sheep but.... I've just reinstalled XP sp3 ( i was curious with your performance post ) and well... it didn't really change anything.. Well.. I did get about 4 fps more in Dalaran, but i mean, that's really not worth staying on an aging os. If you haven't tried it out yet, get yourself a x64 copy of Windows 7, i was running evrything pretty fine with it, but I'm always in the search for better fps ;)
