Bottleneck causing low FPS?

Specs:
*Windows XP SP2
*ABIT NF7-S NVIDIA nForce2 [Latest drivers ver 5.10, dated Sept. 17, 2004]
*AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton 333MHz FSB
*CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700)
*Radeon 9800 Pro (128 mb) [Catalyst version 5.11]

I feel my computer is performing less then it should be. The only game I play at the moment is World of Warcraft, which with all UI Addons disabled runs at very low FPS, and gets worse when grouped. I use to run it at a very high widescreen resolution, but tried lowering it to 1024x768 and see no increase in performance. I have everything in the video settings that can be lowered set at the low setting. I believe everything in the BIOS is untampered, but the CPU speed might have been increased slightly and maybe the RAM settings. Any questions/ideas?

The video card should handle the game just fine at 1024x768, but the higher esolutions are probably too much for it.

The processor speed isnt a problem. I have played wow just fine back when I was using a 2500+m(overclocked to 3400+ spec, 400MHz ram)

The RAM may be a problem. Wow likes a lot of ram and fast ram to boot. I would try upping the speed a bit by increasing your proccessor's FSB to 200MHz and dropping the multiplier to 11x(to maintain the same processor speed of 2.2GHz, but OCing the RAM to PC3200 spec)

EDIT: and I want to add, very nice choice of motherboard :bigthumb:

EEK, FSB was at 200 MHz and the multiplier was at 10.5, so i bumped it to 11 and i'm getting application instability. While I was in the BIOS, however, I marked down the settings I have for some things.

FSB - 200 MHz
Multiplier - 10.5

AGP Freq. - 66 MHz
CPU FSB/DRAM Ratio - Auto
CPU Interface - Enabled
CPU Core - 1.65v
DDR SDRAM Voltage - 2.8v
Chipset Voltage - 1.6v
AGP Voltage - 1.5v

Memory Timing - Optimal

Is the aperture set to 128MB or higher?

Heh. The Abit NF7-S was king.

Is the aperture set to 128MB or higher?
