AMD or Intel, the speed of the processor means nothing unless we know what type of processor it is.

Such as a quad core running at 2.3ghz is better then a Pentium 4 running at 3.73ghz.

Also please post your video card.

If you want, use two trial accounts to see if you can accomplish boxing without much lag, if you can stand it that's all that matters.

You could run 2 if you have at least a gig of ram, it just wouldn't run very well because one would be minimized.

I use my own personal script of AHK because I'm using one computer not 5.

I can write one for you, but my scripts are specially designed for 5 spreists and may cause errors with yours.

First off, you'd never want both of them walking independently it will cause tons of problems later on.

Have the shaman follow the warrior so you can control the warrior, and have the shaman heal, dps, whatever you want him to do.

A basic script would have one key set to your focus key, so whenever you press a spell it automatically makes the secondary target your target. It's also not a bad idea to have a follow button.

If you are not used to modifiers, your going to have to get used to it, or buy xkeys, and still worry about it.

It's not hard to learn how to script AHK, there is a thread on it if you give me a few minutes I will find it.

saw that which was what got me thinking, ive already checked out some 16gb flash sticks, was just wondering what sort of frame rate the game would run at.

also i think that it would make a really cool affordable option to hardware box, i have no choice in haveing to software box on my laptop, but if i could hook up another 4 eees then i would defently do that as the 4 eees would still take up less space than my 1 laptop.

might wait for now see what happens hopefully fingers crossed a bigger screen eee comes out with a better processor, theres a big black boarder around the 7 inch screen.

could craft some sort of rack to house the eees around my laptop and try and make a portable hardware boxing set up would be an awsome goal :P

still i think i need to buy an eee and have a play about with one, i saw one in toys'r'us in the computer secton just before christmas, i honistly thaught that they were just childs toys.
