Hello, I'm Chenquie. This is my first post here @ Dual-Boxing.com and I'm looking forward to check out these forums.
I'm a experienced WoW player, I've been in the top arena teams in some battlegrounds, raided sunwell etc.

--- END OF INTRODUCTION ---

So.. My first question would be how many WoW my decent computer would handle? I'm guessing it would handle 5 but what the hell right? Let's ask the experts in this area.
One more question is.. Is it nescesseray to use two monitors? I only got one atm and I think I'm perfectly fine with it.

...anyway here's my computer specc:

4GB RAM
XFX GeForce 8800GT 512MB
Intel 2 Quad Core Q9300 2.5GHz
500W Power Supply
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R P35

That's all I guess.. Looking forward to some nice answers.

That'll do fine.

As for multiple monitors - it helps, but is not a nessecity.

Thanks Wilbur.

Ah what the heck instead of posting a new thread I'll keep asking here..
So what's the best noob program to start with? Keyclone is good what I've heard?

..and how do you level the fastest way? Is there a guide? Or is it just leveling as usual?

Answers are appreciated. Thanks. <3

G'evening Chenquie and welcome to the forums!

if you experience any flakiness.. it could be your power supply. the quad core and the graphics board might want a bit more.
if you put another monitor on there, you might notice it.

as for leveling... most people will tell you to stay away from collection quests. 5x 20 of anything is just painful... unless you really must have the quest reward. kill quests are the best

limp along until you are 13 or 14 and start instancing... then it's just instance grinding for max xp/hour.

if you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note.

good luck and welcome to the addiction!

Rob (keyclone developer)
