Windows will use available memory for caching so the fact that it is being utilized is not a bad thing.
Check the "Available memory" in task manager or performance monitor. If this is less than 1GB while running your game, extra memory may help.
The issue could be server lag or your internet connection (not just locally, but from the exchange to the ISP and then the ISP to the server).
Your processor is not as good as modern processors:

It sounds like you have already checked processor utilization, but make sure you check per core rather than total. If any core is hitting 100%, you are CPU bound on the thread running on this core.

Just noticed it says you have 8gb of Ram, but only 4gb usable?Just posted a more detailed look. Lemme know what you think
unknownofprob said:
usable does not mean actual amount, memory is reserved for other things, i.e. graphics ect..WOW is a poorly coded game, so don;t expect huge FPS with all cards, is it only this game that's the issue?
Yeah your RAM setup is not right, its only allowing 4gb to be used, and you are using it all up which is causing you to have to use the HDD a lot more.
Are you sure you are running x64 windows?

Sorry for the slow reply. I was having dinner.
The issue isn't that you don't have enough memory, it is in the amount "Hardware Reserved"
I've just checked two machines I have here:
- One has 4GB of physical memory and 612MB hardware reserved.
- The second has 12GB of physical memory and only 9MB is hardware reserved
Windows identifies this memory as "Memory that is reserved for use by the BIOS and some drivers for other peripherals".
The second system has a graphics card where the first uses the integrated graphics of a Core i3 processor.
What I'm thinking is that on my 4GB system, memory is reserved for use by the integrated graphics.
Does your motherboard have integrated graphics that your are not using?
Have you tried disabling the integrated graphics in the bios?

it does have a total of 8GB, only 4GB is usable due to his systems reserved memory.Yeah exactly, that is not how it should be. 8gb should be available.
depending on what the OP is doing, 8GB is actually usable, and may not be needed.
If needing to, enable all 8GB in BIOS.

If your RAM was faulty it wouldn't appear in Windows at all.
As mentioned in my post above, have you checked that the motherboard integrated graphics is disabled in the BIOS?

Look at the screenshot. I can tell you now, that is not normal, something is making the other 4gb not available, all 8 should be available there.

What is your motherboard model? It should be written on the motherboard somewhere.It's in my very first post. N68S3+
I didn't recognise that as a motherboard model. I've never heard of Biostar.
Some of these settings are default values, but check that they are set as described below.
On the BIOS tab "PCIPnP", set "Plug & Play O/S" to Yes.
On the BIOS Chipset tab, select "SouthBridge MCP68 Configuration".
Set "Primary Graphics Adapter" to "PCI Express -> PCI -> IGP"
Set OnChip and PCIe VGA Selection to "Disable OnChip VGA"
Save changes and check Hardware Reserved memory.
You should also check that all your BIOS and drivers are up to date. The website will have newer drivers than the CD that came with your motherboard:

WoW 25 man raids always has been CPU limited more than anything. If you are having low FPS, that is usually where to look, but check to see what your GPU usage is. If is at 99%, then it is your GPU. You may also need to tweak your WoW settings. In the past, shadows at max causes huge slow downs, especially with more players in one spot.
