Hey guys, I'm new to the whole Multiboxing community and the actualy boxin'.

Currently im running a dual Shammy setup, using keyclone.

I got a 2.2 Core2Dou, 4Gigs or RAM DDR800 & a GeForce 8400GS. (it's a laptop)

My questions are:

1. Can my machine handle another box?

2. Will my connection produce a decent latency (im from the middle east, running 2 boxes gives me about 150-200 ms)

i got a 250kbps upload and 400kbps download.

I cant wait to start my third shammy!@!@#!$ ('mailto:shammy!@!@#!shammy!@!@#!$)!@
Im using my 70 Pally to Grind instances.

Thanks in advance!

BOOYA! :thumbsup:

Maybe, the graphics adapter may be the weaker link, but being a laptop there isn't much you can do.

My suggestion would be to try 3-boxing with one trial account, that way you will know for sure.

If you can keep mid 20s fps or above on all 3 in org you should be fine to 3box imo :)

I have a laptop with similar specs to that and was three boxing on it for a while without a problem. Make sure to look into the maxfps and maxfpsbk commands, as they will be essential to keeping your main window playable.
