    Hi

    I have a

    AMD Athlon 2500+ 1.1ghz
    1 gig of RAM
    Geforce 6600 LE (256MB)
    80 gig HD

    The problem is: I am experiencing a very low FPS when attempting to play world of warcraft (Around 12 average), and every now and again I get the #132 Error message and the game crashes. I believe my computer specs should be sufficient to run the game relatively smoothly but it doesn't ever since I got my motherboard repaired. I use to have a Geforce 5950 Ultra card but the shop I took it to said that it couldn't work so I am testing my pc now with this Geforce 6600 LE, but it doesn't seem to be a whole lot better. I would like to play with little lag again so please HELP!!!

    PS: Under the BIOS it says that my CPU is running at 60*C and that is just when it is starting up.

    That sounds a tad bit warm for you processor, but not alarmingly so. I would imagine you are having a driver problem. Download the newest driver from www.nvidia.com (this is a desktop machine u are talking about, right?), uninstall your old driver via Add/Remove Programs in control panel. Then install your new driver you downloaded and see if that fixes your problem.

    Also, don't consider framerates from any major city. They always suck unless no one is there.
