New quick question

[Jendrake]

Does this require 2 screens, or can it be done with 1?

What kind of specs would my machine need to run 4 accounts.

Seriously. You guys are like the people who stand in front of the "Navy Seals" standee at video stores going "Hey, do you guys have Navy Seals?"

I know I'm being grumpy but FFS READ THE EFFING STICKIES AND SEARCH A BIT. It's not hard.

I'm seriously wondering about the usefulness of a board when all it is is this -- people too lazy or missing large STICKY posts....not to call a man dumb, but ffs....*grumble*

Yes please read the forums.

You can do this with 1 screen.

Hi JenDrake and welcome to the forums!

you don't need to have multiple screens if you don't want... it's just nicer. same goes with multi-machines. you can get away with using a lower powered box... if you hook 3 or 4 together.

limiting factors are obvious. cpu, graphics performance, graphics memory, and disk access. if you are looking to do it on the cheap, then consider using something like pitbull to give you insight into how your clones are doing, and drop their graphic settings to near nothing. also, make sure to set your maxfpsbk to like 5... giving almost all the graphics processor to the active window.

i would suggest checking out the screenshots section for a look at some of the rigs people are using. (my current favorite is Elo's with the 2 portrait style monitors on the left & right of his main... very nice)

if you are still unsure, there is a vent server and an IRC to chat with people (note: don't walk right in and demand help from people... that never goes well). of course, you could also drop me a PM at time if you're confused... i'll do what i can to point you in the right direction.
