I used to be able to run 5 instances of WoW fine on one box (very nice computer). But now, opening two remains fine, but ever since I reformatted, when I open the 3rd, none of them are playable and my cpu usage goes through the roof, I don't understand why. please help?
specs: c2d E6750 @ 3.0ghz - evga 8800GT 512MB - 2 gigs of nice ram (crucial) - abit ip35 pro mobo.
thank you :D

2 gigs of nice ramRight there sticks out to me as a "not likely to 5 box" flag... has the location of your characters changed by chance? (IE: from the old world to TBC, from TBC to Northrend?)

yepp i'd say you're low on ram, also 5-boxing is generally not recommended on dual core cpu's-- you may be able to do it but putting 3+ instances of wow on one core is pretty taxing
