Ya need to upgrade my desktop :{ 3 wows make it a bit laggy right now.

but then again its only a amd 3000+ with 1.5 gigs of ram. going to drop 2 gigs in to make it 3 gigs total to see if it helps.

I keep posting this, but if you can find one, get a 8800GT over the 8800GTS. If they were in stock, you can get the 8800GT KO from evga for $289 and it performs between 10-30% better than the 8800GTS depending on the game and settings.

here is a link to some bench marks

These cards were supposed to come in at the $250 range, but they got so hyped and are such a good deal that everything is selling out and the vendors are price gouging. Nevertheless you could save $50+ and get a better card.

I have almost the same exact setup, excpt mine is quad core....
I 5 box just fine. keep the main char maximized on main screen and the 4 alts into quad sections on second monitor. Runs smoothly.

Ifyou do happen to experience some lag or low fps just minimize the additional 4 account and you will be fine.

[ahnubis]

That is a quad core :}

[shawngell]

My apologies...

You will be fine...

And actually I only have one 8800 with 2 you should get 60fps no problem.
