Next, go into your network settings in the system properties if you are playing under windows. Select the network card and select the "configure" button. You should get dialog box with some tabs on it. Select advanced. You will find several options. Ensure that specific features that might be called like "TCP offloading" is switched off. Also you might want to shut off powersafe functions (unless you are playing on a laptop they might not make much sense anyway). I can't give you specific names for the options to turn off, because the naming of those are driver dependant and thus change depending which hardware and driver you are using. In general, every option that sounds like the hardware is "accelerating" or "offloading" some functionality from the operating system into the hardware or driver should be switched off. These features have in the past proven to be more counter-productive than useful. Again a system reboot is necessary after changing something here.

this especially works if you are getting "Unknown Entities" and you're using an Nvidia Nforce network card.  Disable the Checksum Offload.

I'll give it a try and see

also there's a processAffinityMask cvar in config.wtf that will allow wow to use all 4 cores in your quad core system instead of just the normal 2. set the value to 15

to clarify on that, it can pass threads throughout each core but not much else.

you can also set the texture cache size to 512MB instead of the default 32MB

SET textureCacheSize "536870912"
