I have a core i7 920 with 12GB of fast 1600 RAM, a 30gb SSD, and an Asus 4850 - which should be more than fast enough, but I was getting 3-5 fps in cities until I changed my video settings from 4x multisampling to 1x multisampling.

Bingo. 25-30fps in dalaran.
Surprised you had to drop it that low! I run a Core2Duo E7400, 4gb RAM (single-channel, crappy mobo), and Win7-64 on a GeForce 9600GSO vid card. I was running in WinXP-32 ultra smooth at 8x multisampling but when I upgraded to Win7 I had to drop to 4x multisampling to get the same performance I had in WinXP. Now mine performs great, even in Dalaran I get 25-35fps on my main client at 4x multisampling.
How many clients are you running with? It's very difficult to compare how 2 clients do when discussing how 5 clients perform. Given that you have 4GB of RAM and a dual core, I'd be very surprised if you could handle 5 in Dalaran without some major headaches.
