Default World of Warcraft random deep freezes

I have Vista RC1 and though I haven't done anything too intensive such as
raids or anything like that, the game runs fine. I have no addons installed
either, so that could be an issue.

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2997MHz
Memory: 1.5GB DDR333
Video: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (NOT THE ATI DRIVERS, I used the ones that Vista
supplied me with)

WOW is an awesome game. I agree, it isn't very stable in beta 2, but I
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!
