I've downloaded the new client and i notice on the graphics options page that enable ripple water, avatar vertex program, bump mapped, and bump mapped and cloth are all greyed out and unselectable. I find this odd since I pretty much have the highest end graphics card available installed on my PC. Just curious if anyone else notices this.

Well I'm kind of suprised that I'm seeing the ripple water option greyed out for me. I'm on a high-spec laptop with an nVidia GeForce Go 7800 GTX in it. I didn't get a chance to try preview in the last couple of weeks, but I presume it was like this in preview as well. Interestingly I've always got similar FPS on this laptop as my desktop (also with a 7800 in it). My FPS now seems a lot higher (like totally off the scale, 80 fps plus) so it's a little dissapointing that I can't have my ripple water. All the other options are available and turned on for me.

Shame, I liked it :(

PS> And yes, my drivers are up to date :D
