so basicly here is what happened, 8months ago i uninstalled WoW cause it destroyed my life, i rei-installed it today and was hoping for same gameplay, b4 i got 42fps max inside and 15-21fps outside, today i loged in and got 2fps in orgrimmar and 6-11fps outside, on lowest settings :(, on a medium pop server, now i just finished defraging my disk and running a computer scan, is there anything i can do to higher my fps? its just i dont know what happened, it was this way the first time i ever downloaded WoW, then after a week it stoped and game just moved fine, could i have to wait like a couple days? so my computer becomes comfortable with it? and it starts to run normally again, BTW this happens everytime i re-install the game, this is second time, but ive done re-install like 6 times, just plz help me, thank you for your time :)

It's god telling you not to destroy your life again.

:ponder: You may be right

@Josefrag: It must be your RAM. Upgrade it to 2GB and it'll be fine.

The 'Recommended Hardware' thread listed the recommended level of One gig, you have half of that amount, hence difficulties are to be expected. I'm not exactly sure what an "extreme graphics 2 card" is supposed to be, I don't think it'll be a very good card for graphics performance though, and may be a source of problems.

intel cards are pretty crap for gaming and your ram is pretty low. you arnt using vista by any chance ? vista needs 756mb ram to run stable so that could well be a large part of the problem. and xp still needs over 256 mb of ram so your game will struggle before you even load a screen up
try looking to see if intel have bothered to make new drivers for that card

so you used this same computer before and it gave you 20 fps, but now only gives you 10?

sounds like an extremely basic 2 graphics card, and not an extreme 2 graphics card.
apart from the fact that i think you got screwed over with the supposedly great graphics card, have you tried blowing out the dust? i took a can of compressed air to my videocard and BAM! instant improvements. dust = heat and heat = death for your computer.
