I know these questions come up a lot so I apologize if some of you are tired if reading these. Just as the title says I looking to improve my fps for wow. At the moment I currently have a
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
with a 1.8GHz processor.
The computer is not too old I've only had about a little more than 6 moths. So its all the original hard ware. I'm no computer expert so I'm a bit confused when it comes to buying new hard ware. Any help would be much appreciated.

The 6150se is over 4 years old... and if your processor is single core, that thing is ancient as well.
To elaborate, most modern systems are shipping with either geforce 8 or 9 series cards (geforce 7 series in some super in-expensive systems) and 2.6-3.2+ dual/quad core processors.

Like I said I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to hard ware so it never occurred to me that the processor is slower than the current ones available. It is a quad core processor so I at least have that. The drivers are up to date and I have significant amount of memory as I don't download anything. If I may ask what would be the good upgrade?
Also jh443 if you don't mind me asking could you inform as to what I need to know? I'd like to know for future reference as I hate not knowing these things.

/console SET processAffinityMask "15"
Should double your fps, if not more.
If your processor is a core i7 (or has hyperthreading... ie. Has 8 logical cores) using: /console SET processAffinityMask "85" will achieve the same effect, but without giving wow a chance to run on both a physical and hyperthreaded core at the same time.
