Couple of things,

First off you should be fine with your current setup and what you have your wow set at. Should get good FPS just about anywhere, depending on populations etc. So something else is throttling you which brings me to number 2.

64 bit os....... bad idea. its been passed around and agreed upon that most programs, unless optimized for 64bit tend to use double (or near double) the memory of what they use on a 32 bit system, thus your 2gb of ram is being throttled by wow and vista running in the background. Is vista also running at full settings? Did you get the dual core optimizer drivers from AMD?
I have vista running in full performance mode, Aero disabled and all (Looks like crap, yehaw), but I don't have dual core optimizer drivers. One of my goals today is to go over the system with a fine toothed comb and make sure all my drivers are current, including chipset. I'm hesitant to drop down to xp 32 because a)xp doesn't utilize dual view correctly b)I plan to add more than 3gb memory c)I don't want to have to bother keyclone again to change my key. He works hard enough already. However I'm inclined to believe you about the 64 bit OS being a bottleneck for me, so I'll change if it neccessary; I'll probably try a dual-boot, test it out, and then repartition and reload if it does end up being my solution.

One of the things I'd like to get is some feedback on what I should be expecting with my setup, running one client fullscreen at 1920x1200. If I'm standing in the middle of nowhere, lets say in Thousand Needles, should I expect to see 60fps+, or does the 1920x1200 resolution mean I should expect around 30fps?
