So why downgrade?
The 5 pc build I use is what I would call "hacked" and although playable for grinding / leveling several of the machines won't cope for PvP in the slightest - AV for example just causes to of them to hang and disconnect.

2 of them run at about 10 fps on average (sometimes less).

Basically I'm looking for something which will cope in that environment and a 1 pc build is preferable for now. Eventually I will look into 10 boxing in time for WOTLK and then all the machines will be back into action etc but for now I'd like a 1 machine solution.
