A question for the folks that have been running 2 copies of WoW on 1 machine. How are you splitting up your screen?



My Setup: I have a 24" monitor and run WoW at 1920x1200 resolution. In a perfect world I would like to run 2 copies and keep much space as possible for my primary toon and have a little space for the secondary toon. Assume that I am using Maximizer.



So how are you guys setup?



50/50 top to bottom? 50/50 left to right? Could I do 90/10 top to bottom (rear view mirror mode)?



Thanks for your time.

It is more important to see what happends around you then what happends above you. :)

When I say top to bottom, I am talking about window layout, not ingame viewpoint.

does your monitor easily rotate veritcally? You might have a better chance finding something that isn't too "stretched" when aligning it that way.

Just have one be big and one be small. Use PiP and it should be all good.

When I was only 2-boxing, I just used windowed mode, and would click to the slave account when I needed.

But I also didn't hvae Keyclone or Maximizer at that time...I was a real glutton for punishment. :)

This is how I have mine set up:

....................................

instance 1

....................................

instance 2

....................................

Gives for very good viewing of what's going on around me.

It's better to see what's going on around you than what's going on above you, as a previous poster said. Thus, it's better to go wide than tall :D

try and buy a mount and set it up vertically, although 24" vertical might be a bit of an eye strain after a while.

Off topic, but I love your avatar! After pwning someone's face in BG I pictured that cat yelling, "WHAT'S MY NAME BITCH!!"
