Is there any way to do this in Wine so that WoW always runs as top priority. Similarly can I change the priority that Wine runs at within Linux? To be honest with my new processor and extra RAM, processing speed really shouldn't be a problem.

I also once went on a course that covered building a Linux operating system from scratch, although I've forgotten a lot of it. So if you think I can get some good performance enhancements by building a custom kernel, I'm happy to try. I can always back up the old kernel and boot off a CD to restore it if things go wrong. My main limitation is time.

I just think with the changes in the WoW engine to be more graphic
intensive your 7k series is just a tad low to run it they way you
want.  Perhaps even in windows.  I know I get roughly same FPS (within
5 fps) in windows and in Linux with OpenGL (How I test windows is dx9
with same settings that OpenGL in linux would use).
Raiding/questing/Stormwinding.  Anyways, just my 2 cents.
