Hello all,

I have been running 5 accounts on 1 pc for quite sometime now, but lately I noticed the framerates are a bit wacky, especially on main - the movement has some delay.

I am thinking of getting my 2nd pc up and running again, spec is ok.

The question I have is; what is the best setting ? I looked at the hardward - keyboard multicasting + kvm switch and the price is a bit too much beside I cannot find any dealer in the netherlands.

If I am going to buy another keyclone license, how am I going to connect the 2 pcs together, andhave all 5 intances casting the same thing like when i am running 5 instances on 1 pc.

I used to 4 box for some time before moving on to 5 boxing, whit 4 everything run fine no lag anyware but when i opped to 5 boxing shatt godt a lag pit it was hard just to turn arrownd, moving all 5 toons form my inn to the flight master took 20 mins, so i went to a store got another 4 gigs of ram now running whit 8gigs ram, and im back on the fly no lag anywere

i payed about 100$ for those extra ram, the power needed to run another pc would be more costly then that very fast

I already have 2nd pc, it was my old pc pentium 4 3.00 ghz with 4 gb ram, acceptable ati vga card. So it will cost nothing to build up a new pc. Plan on playing 3 instance on main pc, and 1 or 2 instances on the 2nd pc.

I was looking at vetra kvm and Kb broadcasting, altogether will cost around 700$ which for the game is a bit too much. perhaps someone here has cheaper option - in terms of hardware configuration.

About software configuration, if I have 2 keyclones, how can I link the 2 pcs. Needed advices.

the keyclone(s) network together so you just make sure the keyclones link up ( you put the ip address of the 2nd machine in) and they auto connect 9.9 out of 10 times, you set up the maximizer feature on each copy of keyclone seperately for monitor config and then it works the same as runnng all copies on 1 PC. you can also set up the commands to launch your copies of wow on the second pc from the main so its completly seemless( caveat to that is for some reason i still cant pass the shift modifier in keyclone so if you PW contain shift or any of your macros and you have this bug you might need to change it. ironicaly if i move my mouse to the second pc ( using synergy) the shift passes back to the main just fine.
