Well, sorry to answer my own post but it seems that I have it working. Setting the processor affinity under task manager -> processes -> right click wow.exe did the trick. However, all is not happy in mankland, it seems that I get pretty much the same framerates on my laptop as I have on my desktop with two clients open. I guess the machine just isn't enough of an upgrade to do the trick. 20 fps (actually mostly lower) is just annoying to play under, I envy you guys who can get decent framerates on one machine.
