All those with 64 Bit systems. (Windows)

If anyone is running a 64Bit version of Windows, there is now a 64 Bit client available. Why is this important do you ask?

In 32 Bit mode, WOW can only access 3GB of RAM, this includes the memory on you Video Card. WOW is very RAM hungry and benefits greatly from additional RAM, and those people with 4, 8 or more GB of RAM, it's all being wasted!

Linked here is the 64 Bit client. Download it, extract it into your main WOW folder (where the launcher.exe is located) and then run the Launcher. In the Launcher window, befor eyou hit play go to Options\Game Preferences and make sure "Launch 32-bit Client:" is unchecked.

Enjoy your extra FPS!
I respond to Sakareth and Azuril too.

I shame myself by admitting that I didn't even give this a try yet. Thanks for the heads up.

This topic didn't -at all- lead me towards chasing for a new computer, only to grudingly accept that I have other stuff to prio first. Bah!
I want to be just like you. I figure all I need, is a lobotomy and some tights.
