Possible related nvidia forum tread http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=127984 , because I guess this happens only on machines with 4GB ram or more.
Did anyone have the problem with less memory?
Yes. 2GB here, WoW crashes without the preloader patch. cf bug 16131. (At least as of ~2 months ago. It's been happening less and less lately though, I'll try without the patch when I'll get the occasion.)
