Re: Double your framerate in WoW under Wine
Tweak #1 works under at LEAST wine 0.9.22, 0.9.24, and 0.9.25. The LOCATION of the registry edit has changed for 0.9.25 and that is reflected on that link you posted

I have used that one personally and even though it was originally intended to help solve a corrupted text issue with ATI cards, it was apparently discovered that it also significantly improves the frame rates on nVidia cards as well. I have an nVidia card and I can confirm that it does in fact just about double your frame rate in WoW. Depending on where you are in the game it can go more than double or a little less than double. I have seen 80fps while standing at the Great Forge in Ironforge at the flight path there. Outside with more stuff to draw I am typically at around 55-60fps. I have an nVidia 7300GT with 512MB so it's not as fast as some of the newer cards, but it does fine in WoW for me.
That Tweak #2 I had not seen. I may try that one later tonight.
