Loose cursor control

[cyberslag5k]

One of the things I hate in games is loose controls. In the case of MMO's, the problem seems to come in not being able to move my mouse cursor and have it respond as rapidly as it does in windows. WoW is my present obsession, and I stick to the keyboard mostly because the mouse just does not respond the way I would like it to. I have the game jacked all the way up to 1240x1024, as per the max on my LCD display).

The weakest component of my system is (unfortunately) my processor. It's only a 2500+ Barton clocked at stock speeds (it's a little too unstable for me when OC'd even a little bit). My graphics card is more than up to the job, as it's a BFG 6800GT. I have a gig of corsair's finest PC3200 RAM. So could my problem be due to a hardware deficiency in one of these areas? I would think a problem like that would be related to the video card. I suppose I could try to turn down the graphics a bit (the game doesn't run as smoothly as I'd like it to anyway), but I'd like to konw what part of my hardware isn't up to spec, and I'm thinking it's the proc. Could the weak processor be guilty of the effect (and sub 60 FPS) I'm seeing? Or perhaps there's just some hardware settings I could tweak?

Thanks in advance!

I also had a problem with the cursor in WoW. What would happen is the curson icon would freeze, so I could not tell where It was moving, on scree, which in turn made it near impossible to navigate with it.

The fix to this problem is to turn off hardware mouse in options. Maybe try this and see ow it goes before turning down the graphics.

Even though I am not a WoW player, IIRC, it is very processor intensive, and relies more heavily on the CPU then the GPU when compared to other games.

It seems I have a very similar hardware configuration. I would very strongly reccommend upping your FSB to bump that 2500+ up to 3200+ speeds. It may be something as simple as adding mroe voltage to the vcore to get a stable system. A better heatsink could be used as well.

Yes it is your cpu. That 2500+ HAS to be holding your gpu back alot. I recommend an upgrade or a big overclock because having that card is going to waste with such a small cpu.
