 Ya intel is better than AMD if you like a useless FSB, and poor Relay. My AMD fx-67 processor is only 2.65 ghz, and is better than the 3.2 ghz processor from Intel, it has a better FSB speed, and its hyper transport is not the bottleneck that an Intel is. I have run high end games on systems that run intel vs AMD processors, and the intel always runs cooler, but never runs at capacity so you are never getting all the performance out of the Intel processor. Since the bus on an Intel chip is so much smaller, it is not able to transport the same amount of data hence the lower temp. If I put a cooling unit on my AMD it would be able to be OC'd and run at around 3 ghz I just havnt gotten around to it yet. I almost bought the Refrigeration unit so that I could run it at 4ghz, and still have it below freezing.

If you are seriously guaging your graphics cards capabilities on the low quality renderings of WoW you should try to play Oblivion on full settings, and watch how it crushes your card.

WoW's architecture graphically is horrible, the models are extremely low Poly, the Textures are not bumped, and are low res, the models just get retextured instead of actually wearing clothing like in other games. And its draw distance system even on full is a pitance in comparison to almost every mmo out there.

And as far as Beryl is concerned it runs on OpenGL, Nvidia cards are designed to run best under the conditions of an OpenGl environment.
