What to upgrade

[JamesDT]

I have a pretty decent computer, that I've built myself. There are a couple games I enjoy one of them being world of warcraft. I've noticed recently my fps dropping to about 9fps at the lowest video settings, which I'm finding not enjoyable at all. I believe my computer should have no problem playing the game at max settings, however I thought I would ask the community where my weakest link is.

CPU Intel E6850 Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz
Mobo - Asus P5Q
Video - EVGA 8800GTX
HD - 2xSATA 7200RPM raid-0 setup
Sound - onboard
OS - Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1
RAM - 6GB DDR2

I don't use this computer to do much other than try to game after work. As a result it should not be a software related issue such as viruses adware or anything of that nature.

downgrade to Vista Home Premium or wait for SP2, you should see a few fps increase.

if your willing to spend the cash, buy a 720 BE and 780G motherboard since WoW supports 3 cores now.
