6 WoWs open (could go for more, but need more space on the monitor :P)
Windows 2003 Virtual + wow server running on it.
iWin ?
Quad core 4 gigs of memory 25 megapixel 6x 30" screens.
Driven by 3x 8800GTXes.
Pretty sure I could run 6 without breaking a sweat :)
Might be able to push 12 (and keep em somewhat playable) by splitting the screens and turning down settings.
Native :)
Nice 8 core system though :)
How is Parallels at D3D/OpenGL rendering? Is it near native? Or as I suspect, are you running these clients directly through OSX? Wonder if emulated servers have more or less data being sent - probably insignificant either way.

Is this your setup too?
If so, how did you get WoW border less? WoW Maximizer can do a single one but not two (without changing the source).
And don't say Innerspace / WinEQ2 :)

Aww, you knows you love innerspace ;)
Not really. A) They got the ban hammer recently B) I don't need to bot, I have no desire to as I can PvP manually better than any bot ever could and C) You obviously fail to understand my setup. Please don't troll here.

As for borderless windows, that's how Macs run WoW in windowed mode. You see the bars at the top and that's all we get. No need to run a mod. I tried a dual screen on my old G5 and big screen and it was running pretty smooth and seemed easy to see.
