1. Improve 3.3.5a's performance by increasing ram used

    the 3.3.5a client being 32 bit uses at most 2gb's of ram. While this is fine and dandy for most, those with higher end systems running at higher settings in dalaran can still cap that out (especially with some addons)

    This program enables the LAA, a feature that allows a program to use more ram (up to 3.2GB in a 32 bit os if the os is setup for it and up to 4GB in a 64 bit system with enough ram)

    instructions
    *make a backup of your Wow.exe
    *unzip the folder and place the Wow.exe in it
    *run the file that says start and follow the simple instructions
    *move the Wow.exe file back to your Wow folder
    *enjoy taking full advantage of your ram (or as much advantage as a 32 bit program can


    This may provide some benefit on 32 bit systems BUT you have to have 4GB of ram AND modify the OS. I am inexperienced with that portion so I cannot advise what to do in that case. I have tested this on Windows 7x64 and it's finally let me hit the refresh rate of my monitor in Dalaran with all of my addons enabled at max settings.

  2. Does this work? im going to test this when i get home, the drop from 200+ fps to around 40-70 in dalaran makes me want to cry lol. Lowering the settings from max doesn't help at all the game just can't handle it lol.

    edit: didn't really see a difference after applying the fix.

  4. This does not provide a noticeable improvement in FPS I've personally tested it. It does however increase RAM usage and VRAM usage.

  5. Any update on this

    Hi. Any way to get this? I know this post is old but if someone has that program can you provide it for us? Ty :)
