Yes, it won't be a problem. I five box on a similar Dell laptop: an XPS M1710, which is now a year old. I also have 4 GB of ram on it, but my video card is only 512 MB. I have no problems 5 boxing on it. I run my main window on 1920 x1200 and the other 4 at 800x600. My main runs off its own WoW directory and the 4 slaves share another WoW directory.

When I was setting things up, I remember I noticed the biggest performance improvement when I set the max fps for each installation. I played around with several numbers and now I've settled my main window at 40 max fps and the slaves at 20 maxfps. I also set the background fps to just 10 for both the main and slaves.

What is the cost on a laptop like that? I am running my second account on a 6 year old Dell and the fan is finally starting to go. I will buy a second desktop or preferably a laptop to replace it. I would be interested to see what something like that would cost.
