Alright, I always ran WoW on ultra 45-50+ FPS.
Well recently, I get about 20fps unless i'm something small like BGs,Arenas,Instances.
I saved DxDiag information and cut everything except display and system information.
I did update my Nvidia driver today, but it was already lagging like this before.
I do have an Alienware Laptop.(it was on sale, and cheap)
I plan on upgrading and buying or building a desktop in March, but I'd like to get this fixed because it is VERY annoying.

I think I might need to get my case open and clean out the inside, it's been awhile since I have, this will effect performance correct?
I also downgraded from 8gb ram to 6gb when a stick was causing blue screens.
