Hey there.
I recently installed Vista ultimate and am happy overall however there seems to be a huge problem with CPU usage and multitasking..
On XP, when playing World of warcraft, I would always have something working in the backgroup.. be it a download, archive extraction, decoding downloads from usenet servers etc, I would even very often dual log world of warcraft and play 2 accounts simultaniously, alt tabbing between the windows.
With this, I had no problems.. the dual logging WoW caused a bit more graphic lag but nothing too crazy.
Now in Vista, If i so much as have a download running in the background, everything shudders to a halt...
FPS on WoW drops to aroun 3 fps. alt tabbing between windows is nigh on impossible and as for dual logging WoW, its a huge no no... Im lucky to get 1fps and as soon as i try to move a char, it freezes totallly.
anyone else noticed this or heard of a workaround? Im hoping that the performance and reliability patch will fix this but thats 2 weeks away.
