No problems getting 4ghz at all. I adjusted the jumpers on the mainboard to change the bus from 133 to 200 and adjusted the multiplier to hit 4ghz... I had it at 4.4ghz but it BSOD'd on me once, I dropped it to 4.2ghz and WoW crashed once... it's been rock solid at 4ghz. (note: Building this for a guy who wants zero problems, so while I could probably go higher and have good reliability he would rather go lower and h ave rock solid reliability.)

Same result in Dalaran, about 30 FPS. But very very smooth with no stuttering, lag, or any performance issues what so ever. Even plugging the computer into my 42" 1080P Plasma made the game look perfectly beautiful and play without any performance issues at all.
Yea, it's ~25-30fps but obviously not struggling to do so... the mouse is smooth, everything runs fine, just not the e-peen number you would hear about...

That said, its reassuring to hear that not a single person here says they can crack insane FPS in Dalaran @ ultra without changing a setting (thus, not ultra).
