Hard Ware question

[Vairdin]

Hi. I have a little question on the best Hardware. Right now, I am using:

Processor: Genuine Intel(R) CPU 214 @ 1.60GHz
RAM: 1533 MG (1.5 GB)
Video Card: No Idea what im using (But I can barely handle 3 WoWs and when I get to 4 it just doesnt work)


And Ideas on what I should get to Upgrade these things.... and what possible video card i should get to be able to handle 5 wows

[Saijyu]

I believe the minimum hardware for 5-boxing is a quad-core (Intel Q6600 is good) 4GB of ram and an Nvidia Geforce 8800. that should do pretty good, but better parts will get you more FPS :thumbup:

It seems like your gonna need a whole new system :x

Dude get a Dell. :D


You need at least a Core 2 Duo if not Quad. 3-4GB of RAM and at least a 4850 ATI (or equivalent) video card.

All that will run you oohhh $500 or so if that.

[wowphreak]

You could run 4 if yeh had more memory.

yeh dont need a quad core to 5 box thats way overkill.

Core2Duo 2.5Ghz runs 5 fine

wait.... gotta read up on some guides on what to get and where to buys it!!! I guess Frys hardware can supply a lot of it...

Is the 3-4GB of RAM neccesary? I was just wondering because I've got 2GB of RAM, a 2.66Ghz Q-Core and a 8800GTX, is 2GB not enough Virtual Memory to run 5 copies?

[ChaoticMonk]

It will struggle with 2gigs of ram specially when you start visiting major cities/go to outland. I'm struggling with 3gigs right now but my 4gigs should arrive today :D

OK! Ive got some trouble planning my comp... would

work with---

Intel BOXDP45SG LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX DDR3 Intel Motherboard ('http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121348')

I think it should work... because they are both intel, and works with a 64 bit...
