Running the game at 1280x1024 with everything on highest and AF WoW needs alot of RAM.

With 1.5gb of RAM at those settings there is no after loading at all.

With 1gb of RAM there is slight afterloading and pausing of the game cause it is slightly overflowing into the pagefile.

With 512mb of RAM playing the game is almost unbearable. Each time you move to a new area you should just let the computer sit for a few minutes to load EVERYTHING into the pagefile.

I am running at 1gb of ram since my extra stick of 512mb is only PC2700, and this CPU (Opteron) needs PC3200 to run at normal speed. However, I am thinking about putting in the extra stick of 512mb to get my memory back to 1.5gb at the loss of a slower FSB.

Also, when running WoW, my pagefile is at 1.3gb used.

I am so close to an epic mount. Maybe another week and I will have the gold.

I am at 743g right now.

Yesterday I made around 200g just from farming Essence of Fire.

I made 450 gold... in two days... a Bow of Searing Arrows droped in Feralas and next day an epic dagger dropped in Ungoro..

Bow was sold for 165 gold.... and Dagger for 285....

I was extremely lucky those days on par with the 20G I make when I hit the AH every two levels from all leather and Herbs I gather...

And im just 56.. probably when i get to 60 I will have enough money for epic mount i just need another 200G
