World of Warcraft on Windows Vista

唔，最近wow台版要開放70級了，所以試著登入遊戲中。
沒想到，使用vista玩wow，是這麼的糟!!
當我用full screen時，螢幕三不五時就閃一下，還會黑掉1秒再復原....
當我試著使用新版的Intel Chipset driver installation安裝之後，一切....還是很糟。

在請教google之後，找到了幾篇相關文章：Wow官方的英文討論帖1 討論帖2
除此之外，還有篇「如何在Vista上玩魔獸世界」
而我用的硬體是Intel 945G，在官方討論中寫到

Intel 945 & 950 Graphics

* Users are reporting that it will crash into a black screen. A message saying that the Display driver stopped responding and has recovered will follow. It has been reproduced in-house. Some users reported success using a new set of drivers drivers for the 945/950 series. These are released 2/4/07.

We are currently testing the game on these drivers. Early test indicate that these drivers have fixed the crash on the areas we have noted. If you want, try them and report your findings here.

事實上，在我使用window模式執行wow之後，狀況改善很多.....
而且如果電腦的配備是1GB以上的RAM時，有測試文章寫到Vista比WinXP好一點點。所以，扣除wow裡AddOns的相容性，在Vista跑wow其實沒有大家想像中的慘。
