Sounds like either a directx problem, or your videocard/CPU/ammount of memory isnt realy up to the task.
The in game options (the slide) does not actualy change anything to your computers settings, but just changes the amount of detail that is send to the CPU and then by the CPU to the videocard. Resulting in a higher or lower load on your systems resources.
448MB is not enough, i have 512Mb and i need to be sure i kill any programs i do not realy need if i want to be not all choppy. And even then, when i enter Ascalon, with loads to load i have down to 1 frame a second for the first 5 seconds.
So what you must do is try to not run any other programs in the background, quit MSN, word, your E-mail program, and all that.
This is asuming you have a "reasonable computer", it can not be hard (rediculously easy even) to beat my specs. Celeron 2000, 512Mb RAM, Ati RX9250 Videocard (Cant realy get a cheaper card then this if you want it to have 256 MB of RAM) and running W2K-pro.
If your specs. are even lower then mine its simply a matter of asking a Elephant to ride a bike. No pun intended. ^_^

i do i quit every thing apart from my AVG virus protection ive even tried reinstalling gw and direct x

Ok asuming you meet the specs i mentioned, have you tried updating the drivers for your videocard? Is there no spyware to be found? Is gw the only "heavy on system" programm you have this problem with? If not, have you tested this since you have this problem with GW?
Then if you find that other heavy games now have the same problem, it may well be a videocard overheating or on its deathbed.
If any of this doesnt help, i realy cant think of anything else then what you already did.
Hope you get it to work ok.
