Finally got the last bit of accounts i needed, 7 real accounts and 3 trial accounts, finally got to test 10 boxing thanks to Keyclones advice and tutorial on how to set up two computers with each running keyclone but controlling both with 1, Was do able but very annoying conisdering i was running 5 wow's on a PC that only had 512mb of ram, lag central it was. But hey, it was fun and i hope to upgrade the ram for christmas hopefully, and grab 3 more WoW's for christmas so i'm able to be right up there with Xzin :D

I am in absolute awe at your patience there. When I first started 5 boxing, I ran just one of my drones on an old 512Mb notebook and that drove me absolutely mad with disk thrashing every time I went to town / into an instance / somebody had the temerity to cast spells around me!

And that was, of course, with graphics set to minimum and no sound.

Out of curiosity, what made you choose to try 10 boxing out? What's your ultimate goal? I've toyed with the idea of expanding my setup (I certainly have the hardware resources if I'm prepared to make more use of Keyclone) but couldn't find any clear objective for myself.

I struggle with some of the 5 man instances, so I suspect any attempt I was to make at a 10 man instance would end up as a very expensive trip to the repairers ;)

10 boxing with 512 megs of ram is like trying to climb Everest naked.

Exactly. :)

I'm running my 4 alts, with two instances per machine. I had 2gig in one of them, and 1gig in another. Going into Org was torture on the 1gig machine. I simply can't imagine doing that with 512mb and 5 accounts. >.<

I now have essentialy 1gig per WoW instance running, and it's glassy smooth. (they're being powered by 6600GTs, and that helps too.
