Heres a new found.

Rumors says that WMP somehow modifies the memory allocation of WOW?

I do notice a small difference. I dunno whether its just another placebo effect.

on my machine... lol

but i am a lil interested in the lower latency part, but i doubt it'll work as its probably due to older/weaker machines having more resources freed/properly allocated and resulting in less hardware bottlenecking (especially the NICs) thus resulting lower latency. (eg: low ass FPS usually results higher latency, especially if ur proc's always on load/occupied)

as many people commented on that, its probably the audio libraries loaded so WoW dont have to bother with it. still a lot of guessworks atm though

=edit=
good finding nonetheless and would probably help a lot of people that runs on weaker machines

I have a dual screen set up at home, so it is not uncommon for me to be watching a DVD or some other movie/series on my secondary monitor while playing WoW on my primary. As most people know, unless you're PvPing, you can pretty much go on auto-cruise for farming.

I honestly can't say that I've noticed much of a difference with/without media player running so I guess what others have said in this thread is true, it mainly affects older system. /shrug

you can even auto cruise pvp (mainly BG)

pick a node/tower in EOTS/AB/AV, guard it. lolz

in WSG, guard flag room.
