Thanks for the tip with esd, I'll try that, as soon as I get home from
university. I'll post here, if it helped.

I just tried to use the esd-output of wine. This solved the fps-issue, yet
it produces a slight sound-latency (that's why I didn't try it in the
first place). It looks like WoW really uses the sound-output as timing
source.

Thank you very much for your help.

a standard PCI-X, which is however completely different
from what you mean.

Sorry for that mistake...


Second: I hardly believe you, that the only free PCI slot is
directly below the graphics card. The graphics slot likely is a
PCI-E 16x, and the odds are good that the mainboard has more
than one PCI-E slot. However all PCI-E slots are grouped
together and most certainly not interrupted by a single PCI
slot. Probably you're mistaking a PCI-E 4x slot for a PCI slot
(they look similair, but are completely different).

It's definitely a PCI-Slot that resides below the PCI-E 16x. My board the
other PCI-Express slots above the 16x-slot. A picture is linked at

Thanks for the reply,
