Well slap my ass and call me sally...I was wrong. Looks like they finally fixed it. 255 or 15 both seem to utilize 4 cores (albeit cores 1, 2 and 4 seem to be used and not much of 3 for some reason), though setting it to 255 causes wow to reset it to 0 when you exit the game the next run. Strange. Either way, this is good!
[edit] For normal Core2Quad Q-series CPUs and AMDs, any setting should work. For i7/nehalem CPUs, 255 affinityMask is bad. You do NOT want WoW using your HT cores--only your physical cores. See this thread for further info on how to set that. See original thread for Blue confirmation that using HT cores = bad.
