Any improvements?
I got it last week, but I can't play it yet because my PB has a phantom monitor problem (check thread in PB-forum) which seriously messes the characters up in WoW for some reason.
I'm installing 10.3.8 now to see if that fixes it.

If you have a GeForce 4MX chipset - disable vertex animation shaders. They should not be enabled on that GPU, this is a bug of ours which will be fixed in the next patch.

I found that out by reading the other thread. I swear I tried that previously (turning everything off), but it works now... Great! I'm loving WoW

Careful. Wow will destroy your life.
Rbarris, can I ask: do you recommend unchecking the Vertical Sync checkbox for a laptop or LCD monitor to improve performance?

Oh, and while we're on the topic. Which would be the ultimate configuration for my rev a, 17" PB with GeForce Mx4. I want a nice balance between graphics and framerate. Right now it lags a bit when turning around.

I'm at the same frame rate, but it sure is prettier.

The patch fixes issues with full screen glow. It should run faster with that on, but if that's off, it shouldn't matter.
