Default World of Warcraft random deep freezes

iam using rc1 and there is a noticeable improvement on this build it was
unplayable nearly on beta 2 but seems nearly as fast as xp now,just waiting
for an extra 1 gig of ram to improve things a little more....

The only thing stopping me using Vista at the moment is the very poor
performance of wow compaired to under XP.

I use an Nvidia 6600GT. It does play but there can be some UI gliches and
the performance is no good for raiding.

hope in RC1 it will work with no problem. If someone using the latest
build has tried World of Warcraft, how is it running?

I am a long subscriber of this game, and I must say I am quite impressed
with the game's stability on the Windows XP system. I've recently (about
half a month ago) upgraded to using Windows Vista Ultimate Beta2, and
despite its interface similarities to the Mac, I enjoy it very much!
However, the WoW game that I play so often does not fare so well on the
Vista system. The freeze problem is very random, 1stable, when it
freezes, even the escape sequence: ctrl+alt+delete does not
respond(hence requires a powerdown), but sometimes I can play for 3-5
hours straight smoothly and sometimes it'd freeze a couple of times
within an hour. This has NEVER happened on the XP system I used to
have. I have 3.2ghz Intel dual core with radeon x600 256mb vid. ram and
2GB 533MHz ddr2 memory. Any insights or comments are greatly
appreciated!

I am running World of Warcraft every day on my Vista RC1 computer. I have no
more problem with it than I was having with Windows XP.

It was not really working under Beta 2, I agree with that.

I run WoW on Vista RC1. Slighly worse performance than under XP, but
nothing too serious. Radeon 9600XT here, with XP drivers.
