Directions on disabling the fix from AMD that gimps performance.

Did applying that fix resolve the issue for you? Or have you had a chance to try it yet?

I've been issueing RGC (Remote Girlfriend Commands) for the last 30 minutes hoping to find out, 3dMark05 is running now.

Results for 3dmark05 - 12,489 3dmarks

Results for 3dmark05 with TLB patch disabled!! - 14027

About a 11% gain.

Better than nothing. :P Are the WOW FPS issues still happening? Also, you might try toggling the graphics options (like triple-buffering, etc.) in the WoW Options dialog if you haven't already and see if it points to something your system just doesn't do very well. I have one ATI machine and it positively HATES when I'm around a burning building. The smoke clouds just kill that card (x1300? can't remember).
