I am very intrigued about dual boxing wow accounts but I dont have the funds to upgrade my current setup which is kind of old so I was wondering if it would be possible to do it on my current machine. I am running:
AMD Athalon 3500+ 2.21 GHz
1GB ram
2x geforce 6800s (in SLI)
if you need any more info let me know, and hope there is a possibility I can do this :D.

Oh sweet sounds good Ill give it a try I'm out of town today but might have the time to try it out tomorrow, only thing I worry about is the FPS of it with only 1 gig of RAM and its a single core processor. May look to upgrade soon if this doesnt work out though :D.

It may be just me (i reboot + close all extra apps before multiboxing) but even with 4 copies I sit at ~1.5g in use... I only have 2g, and 1/4 of that sits free 5boxing.
I do run with low video settings, not sure if thats the difference.

Yeah, I have a 3700+ and it sits at 100% with 2 WoWs open as well. Runs pretty smoothly thoughly, no problems.
had my 3400+ 2gb ram running 4 at once, all ran with 25fps or smt
(no lagforge tho :P)
