I have 2 video cards, a 7800GT and a 6800GT. I run my center monitor on the 7800 and the 2 side monitors on the 6800 (all 1600x1200).
When I maximize the WoW window in the center monitor, the FPS takes a nose dive, almost as if the system is trying to render across the two video cards (i.e. dragging the window between screens).
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Oh I forgot - I didn't have this problem with XP - this problem only started now that I'm on Vista x32.

I'm not sure what causes this, but UltraMon won't help with this issue.
You could try disabling the secondary monitors when playing WoW, that would probably fix the problem.

But I didn't have this problem previously (with XP).
I'm 99% sure the problem is that UltraMon is trying to display 1 pixel (or something) on one of the other render surfaces and that's causing the problem.

Make sure to maximize the window. WoW has a nasty habit of creating a window the maximum resolution of your desktop but not taking into account the thickness of the windows borders. Right-click on the window's titlebar and select maximize. That should fix it

Unfortunately I get no right-click menu from the WOW Winddow via title bar. I can click on the maximize icon, but that's it...
Yah even when it's a standard window I get no right-click or left-click menu even when clicking on the upper-left icon.
Oddly enough, I get menus just fine in my IE windows...

To check if this is related to UltraMon, try if you still have the problem without UltraMon running or installed.

You need to set the monitor you want to display WoW on to be your primary display. I had the same exact problem, and setting my the monitor in question to be the primary fixed the problem.
