I am extremely new to multi-boxing and i have a question About the machine im boxing with.
I have 2 computers a laptop and a desktop
Desktop is extremely crappy but has awesome video card
Desktop-AMD Athlon Xp2200+ 1.67GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
Laptop-
Toshiba PORTEGE Intel core duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz ( Tablet PC)

So can either of these Computers 3-Box or can i use them both at the same time to 3-Box?

You haven't told us what Graphics cards they have.

I'm guessing the Laptop uses onboard graphics, which is just fail. And your Desktop doesn't have enough RAM for *one* WoW let alone 2+ ;)

I'd advise upgrading the PC. Cheaper than 'upgrading' the laptop.

Recommended upgrades
New Mobo
New PSU (500W+)
New CPU (Dual-core at least, quad if you can afford it)
New RAM (4GB min.)

depending on your video card, you might need to upgrade that as well.

as a key rule have a minimum of 512mb ram per wow session. So if you 3 box I would recommend 2gb ram.

i 5 box with ease on a E6600 with a 7950GT card and 4gb ram. Had some Shatrrah lag (very bad) when I had 2gb ram. Since I upgraded its all gone

I have needed to upgrade my Desktop for a very long time
Would make my computer beefy enough to handle 3 wows?
