    Alright so I play WoW a little bit here and there and I noticed that a lot of times when I shutdown WoW I get a message asking me if I want to change the Windows Aero Theme for performance issues...page filing is on so there is nothing wrong there.

    Also, I notice my FPS is quite low in Uldum (like 30 fps), yet its like 65 in Stormwind - this is with no OCing

    Ahh, okay should I just make sure that WoW is set to run on GT555M in Nividia Control Panel?

    Yeah make sure all your games are running on the discrete and not the integrated card.
