Try going 800x600

I'm sure you will get quite some frames out of the other resolution

Go for 800x600. The nVidia fx5200 is a very bad graphics chip, and I highly doubt that it is capable of running WoW at 1024x768.

Geez Louise

Righto,

You need to set Spotlight not to index the WoW folder. You frame rate should double. I'm amazed no one has told you this already - Spotlight is a killer when running games.

Cheers!

Steve.

I tried to email you, but it's set to disabled or something!

System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy -> Click on 'Plus' button -> search WoW folder and select it -> Done!
