Code255: I just accidently stumbled across something you will find pretty useful: WoW System Guide

i'm still reading through it, but WoW seems to be VERY cpu limited. If you want good performance, upgrading your CPU is necessary. CPU Scaling

so, what are your suggestions? get a new videocard now, max out mobo with a 3200+ later? buy a new A64 rig later? wait for NF4 to evolve?

If I were him, I'd upgrade both. How depends on his wallet- if he can afford it the 6800GT is a great card.

I'd rather have a 6800NU and a 3000+ for about the same cost if that was all I could afford.

If he has no plans to upgrade the processor anytime soon, I'd probably just buy a 6600GT and call it a day.
