update: It ended up being Hyperthreding. I turned off HT in the bios just to test out what a friend had suggested. Once i disabled HT and set the CPUs in keyclone. My lag problems are over.
Interesting. I have no option for disabling hyperthreading and it looks like the q6600 doesn't actually use it. The newer i7's do which is what you are using. I may be off on this though because I just started looking into this option. Regardless, I'm glad you got it solved. Hopefully I'll figure something out for my system soon. ;(
You're right - hyperthreading was dropped in the core 2 series and returns in the i7 series (to critical acclaim in certain areas such as video encoding, mastering etc. - no idea if its of any use in wow)

As an added note - I am running a core i7 with hyperthreading on, and it runs five clients at maximum gfx like a dream. Once you spread affinity out across all eight cores you can really feel the performance gain, against loading up just a few cores.
