Hello i am new to dual boxing and need advice on a few things. First i need to know what free programs and addons i should use to do this. Second i need to know if it is possible to use two monitors for two separate WoW clients, one on each, also two keyboards one for each WoW aplication. Sorry if this is stated elsewhere i just couldnt find it. i found a program called octopus but couldnt find out how to use it because the button it said to push first i couldnt find.
thanks for all the help

The wiki has most of the info you're looking for...should look there for alot of your questions

Yes you can position different WoW windows on different monitors.....

The rest depends on your setup, hardware or software boxing.

As far as addons, definitely grab Jamba, from the Macro/Addon folder.

You can run wow on two monitors.
WoW actually runs better without SLI/Crossfire.
Most newer cards have two monitor ports, but you can run multiple video cards too.

You can run a keyboard per computer, and go with multiple computers.
You can run multiple wow's on a single computer.

I'm not sure whether you intend to hardware box (one client per computer with some kind of keyboard/mouse broadcaster) or software box (multiple clients on one computer) with a software broadcast option like Game AutoHotKey, Commander Pro, HotKeyNet, Innerspace, Keyclone etc.
