I was wondering if I could 5-box at acer 7520g.
And the info about the computer:
- OS Windows Vista Home premium SP1 32-bit
- Processor AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile Technology TL-58 (1.9GHz, 2x 512kb L2 cache)
- Video card Up to 1280mb NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS TurboCache
- RAM 3gb DDR2
- (while playing 1char) Bad thing is the cooler isn't good and and so the temp. goes too high,
sometimes FPS drops to ~20 and game starts to lag like hell, when computer's trying to pick up the FPS.

I will start 5-boxing after a month or few if it is doable with this comp. otherwise I'll just save up money and do it a LOT later.


Edit: PS: How can I use AoE skills (ex. Blizzard and Rain of Fire) when 5-boxing? I saw Bradster using Rain of Fire at his/her ZF video. Do I need to have another mouse for use at alt's?
Edit2: I was able to log into 3 acc's, but my WLAN signal was getting sucky (or maybe I was banned due to multiple log ins) and couldn't test more. But it didn't lag at all with 3 clients opened and fourth one logging in. (But I wasn't fast enough to do something with them... So I'm gonna try going to city with them soon, when my WLAN signal get's better)
Edit2: Did work perfectly with 4 clients at same time at SW (the most populated place at this server)
Edit3: Got the Octopus working, gonna start multi-boxing after a few months. Cya until then

Well I have a Acer Aspire 7520-5821

Its an AMD Athlon 64 x2 1.8ghz / ge-force 7000m / 2 gb ram ddr2 (533mhz or something like this)

Im starting to multibox also. On this computer i got to run 3 clients on shatt without a problem.. is a little slow on the loading screen but works nice. I havent tryied 4 or 5 boxes yet (more accounts needed :P)

I hope that help you out

Good, thanks. I'm little young atm so guess I'm taking a part-time job to pay for the multiple acc's. But I will test if it works with private servers also before buying the acc's for real servers

Bradster uses hardware. This is a notable benefit of hardware, though I believe you can accomplish this in software using Octopus.
