After 2 days of setting up and installing i finally got my new computer up and running. Creating the 5 different wows was not that hard. Used symbolic link on them all and used the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link ('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link')) (do i get a cookie?) to set it up sense i have vista (just make sure that you run the dos promt in admin mode or it will not work).

Downloaded keyclone and i have to say it is well worth the money to get it. Setup was easy, well sort of, that is if you follow the directions (i sort of skipped a step and messed everything up). Go figure as soon as i install it rob comes out with a new version the next day. The PIP was the best thing, being able to switch to different wow in seconds. Tried out 4 mages just to see how it is and i love it. Having a mob go down before it even reaches you with 1 hit (well sort of 1 hit... 4 fire balls but all at the same time). Probably going to setup my macros today after i get home for work and create/start my sham team.

There are a couple questions that i have... going to check myself, but if it is already out there it would be great if you can link it.
- One isn't a question but a problem when using keyclone i have 4 regions and to switch to each i used the function buttons (F1 = region1, F2 = region2...). Sometime when i hit the F2 key nothing happens. I kept hitting it and nothing happens. Hit the F1 key region2 pops up a quick sec then region1 comes up. When i hit F2 again after that region2 comes up. This happened a couple times i don't know if rob fixed it in the new patch. The other thing is that i just started and wanted to try it out so i had all the sound on and stuff (going to fix that today) so that might have been a factor, but had no problem with switching to region3 and region4.

- In keyclone rob has the cpu affinity selector. Does anyone set this to anything else besides none? Does it help anything. I have a dual core and will be boxing 4 toons till i get to lvl 26 and then bring my pally in to make it a 5 box. Would it be a good idea to set this for me?

- Probably the last question i know i have to turn down stuff so i will not get lag. what are some of the stuff that i should turn down or off. What should i put my screen resolution at (for main and alts)?

Well probably all noob questions and you guys are probably going to be sick of answering them. I will continue to look it is just there are tons of posts and replies.

Im a newb dual boxer myself, but I found that the best way for me to improve performance was to turn all the visual settings on my alt account down to minimal and disable all addons as well. Seems to be working pretty well.
