If any of you know any suggestions please help. I have tried with WMP open and it doesn't help much.

Have you tried the suggestions listed here?

Low FPS? Check Here! sticky

Specifically the section regarding lower-clocked CPUs...

[edit: Damn. Logicaly beat me to it.]

[Ormazd]

Ya I did ;D I have tried that. Cleaned out my Case even for any dust that might have caused a heat problem. I have ad dons to a minimal.

[Cilraaz]

I'm guessing that your framerate is fine outside of 25-man raids?

[Ormazd]

In IF its like 20ish 30 on a good night but thats it. In Dalaran it is 6 and Stormpeaks/Icecrown it is 10 at the most. ???

[Cilraaz]

Both your CPU and GPU are pretty weak. I think your GPU is the weaker of the two, but really both could use upgrades.

[edit: Damn. Logicaly beat me to it.]

Teehee ;D

Then again your system is quite slow.. Any way you could OC it?

[EDIT: Damn, Cilraaz beat me :<]

[Ormazd]

I am not aware of the term OC..?

[Cilraaz]

OC means overclock, or make it so that your processor runs faster than originally intended.

[Ormazd]

Oh, lol I suppose I dont know how to do so though not to much of a computer expert.

Is this a desktop or a laptop? If it's a desktop, I found your problem.

Video Integrated NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100 graphics

Integrated video cards "steal" memory from your system. Since you have 2gb memory, your video card is probably using 128 or 256mb for itself, and the GPU used on an integrated board is very weak. However, if it's a desktop, its pretty easy to upgrade, and won't cost you a lot of money. First question though: What country are you in? If you're in the US, I'd recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102855, an ATI 4670. If someone knows of a better card for about the same price though, feel free to let me know.

For this video he will need new Power Supply like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171046

You have integrated graphics, buy a GPU that will work in your system, but your CPU is weak as well.
