I just built my new machine and I went to install World of Warcraft using the digital installer. Everything installed ok, no errors or anything. It finally gets done patching and I start it up. The login screen was slower then anything I ever saw could barley type in my info. I finally get it all in and select my character and get in and it's horribly slow I have an average of 5 fps but my latency is in the 60s I don't get what could cause this. My machine is more than capable of running WoW on max setting and it still has a average of 5 fps even on the lowest setting, even shadow quality was disabled. I also tried running in lowest resolution but nothing. Other games such as Warhammer online and CoD MW2 work fine on max settings with not even the slightest lag spike!

My specs are

Intel Core i7-950 3.06ghz quad core processor
6g DDR3 RAM
Corsair 750w power supply
Western Digital 640G 7200 RPM hard drive
EVGA GeForce 1G PCI Express video card
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit

Any help would be great!

Thanks
