What are your specs, and possibly what else is running on your system. Have you checked for spyware or viruses recently?

i have been talking to people on WOW and they say i do not have enough ram. i have 516MB of ram and they say i should get 1GB at least. my CPU is AMD Athlon XP 2800+. are then any other specs i should put.

Well your cpu is kinda of a bottleneck but it should handle warcraft i would have thought. Check you catalist control center for options.
