Thats a really old graphics card to be using but to be honest with that CPU it should easily run two instances of wow without even breaking a sweat. If it's stuttering only recently it could be a bad graphics driver update or fans getting clogged up with dust and slowing down causing the processors to heat up.
R: Computer hardware help Dude are you using windows seven 32 bit? With 8gb and that cpu you MUST install windows x64... You are addressing just 4gb of memory
