Intel Core2Duo E6600 (2.4 GHz)

nVidia 7800 GT GPU (eVGA)
4 SATA HDs (only spanning installs across 3 HDs, however)
I had basically the same setup you had only my processor was an E6700 overclocked to 3.5ghz
and my vid card is an 8800GTS 320mb. I recently upgraded to a QX9770 Extreme Quad, and my bottleneck
now is my vid card. The processor is amazing, but it seems at times the vid card chugs along when im in Ironforge
during peak and other major cities. I have my main @ 1280x1024 and my alts split 4 ways via Keyclone maximizer
on another monitor @ 1280x1024.

So in short I would upgrade the CPU first, but you may have to lower some graphic setting to have all WOW clients
run smoothly. Then when you get the change upgrade you card. With the introduction of the 9-seires (9800GX2/9800GTX/
9600GT) the prices for 8 series cards are going to drop pretty soon. Excellent time to upgrade, also there is a rumor that
9900 series vid cards are going to hit this summer. inch:
