While playing WOW my fps runs at about 200 fps for a few seconds, then it drops down to like 10 fps for a few more seconds and back up. and it is constantly repeating this cycle. I just got a new motherboard for my computer so i just built my computer from scratch again, and before i changed the motherboard i didnt have this problem. Any ideas on a solution to this problem? Running 2x nvidia 9600 gt bridged in sli mode 4gb ram intel quad core processor
