How did my post end up ahead of the thread starter? Did someone update the server's clock to a new timezone? (hehe)
Assume this response should follow Hachoo at number 9:
I would never be playing like this normally, but I'm away next week on business and have to make due with whatever I can do with my work laptop so I tried to minimize the followers and even turn the main graphics down to lowest settings and manged to run all 5 guys.
I have a Core2 Duo laptop at 2Ghz with 4gig ram and a 128meg nvidia 8400M GS (yes, the fatally flawed one) running vista x64 business. Native screen is at 1920x1200.
Main is at 1520x1140 with 4 followers on the right at 400x300 each.
I set the followers all to fps of 5 and the main to fps of 25, and even with this the memory is at about 2.8 gig used and the cpu when I'm in an empty area is at about 65% average total. (Set affinity for 3 of the little ones to cpu1, and the main plus one little one on cpu0)
With the exception of seeing lag in populated areas, it's not too bad, but only for PvE - this is far too sluggish for PvP. Also, keyclone's PiP feature comes in very handy for maintaining the alts - since it's almost impossible to do things like adding macros on a 400x300 window.
So lucky me, I get to go on the road for a week with nothing to do at night but level myself some additional RaF sets. ;)
