Heh, i know how you feel dude, playing WoW is already a pain on my 1.2ghz AMD, so before i play i usualy hit ctrl+alt+del and turn off any processes that i wont be using that day.
You can also do this for [Email]F@H.[/Email] On startup, FAH loads: winFAH.exe which in turn loads the current core the WU needs. Right now i see FahCore_65.exe
Have it running, and when you feel like WoW and reeeeely wanna free up those few megs of RAM to squeeze everything outa yer laptop, just hit alt+ctrl+del, gotto process tab, and click on winFAH.exe and 'end task'. The core will shut down automaticaly a few seconds later when it cant find the winFAH.exe.
Dont let lazyness conquer you dude! Help kill cancer! How many hours that you use your laptop do you play WoW? I'm sure thats not the only thing you use it for. It takes me 5 seconds to end that process when i feel like playing.

That's pretty much all I use my laptop for lately though, that's my point. Other than that,it's not usually on.

It's not really an inside joke, but more of an acronym.

wooo! yay recruiting drive!
Don't feel bad that you're ranked 300 of (whatever number there is of people) when you first start... you'll fly through the ranks within a week or two, past all the people that just installed it, used it a day, then gave up.
Click the link in my first post, and check out the first few pages of that thread, I started off excited to be number 125, now I'm number 5! (I was at 3 for a little while too, till goobler kicked me down a notch )

damn...I need to get on this...I've been meaning to reinstall it on my new hardrive for a while now. I'd hate to think that while I'm smoking a cigarette outside, my 3 Ghz are NOT being used to potentially save me from cancer.
