Default Horrible FPS with vista

After installing vista ultimate (32 bit), everything was working fine. until i started up GW. my FPS were lingering between 10-15. On XP, using the same hardware, i was between 50 and 60 constantly. any ideas? ive updated every driver i could think of, and directx and my bios

It's vistia. I dual boot xp and vistia on the same pc. 90+ / 60 with vsynch on Xp. 60ish / 30 fps with vsynch on Vistia.

To get good game performance on Vistia, you should have dual core cpu, 2gb ram min, and a dx9 or dx10 video card with 512 mb ram or better.

A lot the hardware drivers for vista or still not on par yet.

GW is not yet fully accommodated to Vista and stuff like this is to be expected. (from almost anything you try to run on that piece of... oh, sorry, I was just thinking out loud ^^; )

The best thing you can do is install XP as a second OS and run the game from there.
