What did I do wrong?

FWIW for speed, symlinking the cache directory is the only one that matters.

Symlinking data I believe only really matters so you don't have to update your WoW installations more than once, but the cache directory is what gets loaded/utilized when you enter places like shattrath - having this symlinked will save your hard drive reads a TON - once I symlinked cache I noticed that my HD would only peg for about 15 seconds after loading shatt, instead of the normal minute or so.

Apart from the addons, turn off sound on all but one of the instances, sound is a resource load you don't need for all of them.

Colt -

Just a hunch - this was my problem with getting CPU maxes to 100%; probably not related but easy to check.

You don't have a file named wowinit.dll in your WoW folder by any chance, do you?

I didn't see that file :/

I'm going to get a decent CPU fan and get my temp under control. Then we'll see what's up.

[Coltimar]

CPU fan. That was the whole problem. I replaced the factory one and put a jet engine on it.

I recently (read: a month ago) pulled my old laptop apart to clean it. I'm talking about pulling it right down to the plastic part on the bottom so there aren't two pieces that are still connected. Firstly I found more dust than you'd find in most computers! Secondly I found on the mother board, some chocolate which I *cough* accidently dropped on the laptop speakers. It had as it turned out leaked all the way through the laptop and then burnt itself onto the motherboard!

It was stuck on there, if I tried to pry it off, I would have taken half the motherboard with it lol. I assume it would have tasted like 2 year old chocolate

Was it rather tasty!

har har har see what I did there!
