      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.

      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

      yea, you NEED to be running a 64bit os to use any more then 4gb of ram. so do that upgrade first.
