Quad-boxing Shammys. My team... My Rig... My Sig. Astraphobia!

[blusilver]

Hey everyone.
I have been working on my 4 shammys for awhile now. They have been 70 for a couple months. I am finally getting around to post on the Forums i have used soo much to help me along the way. I have gotten all my season one PVP gear and now just waiting for my friend to finish leveling the healer for our Arena team. I just wanted to get a few opinions of what you think of my team, and the name. "Astraphobia": The Fear of Lightning. Here are a few Pics of my Team and The computer i play on.

How is your FPS in AV, if I may ask?

I've got similar setup, and at mass fights my fps is down to 5-7 :S

Really thinking of getting a Q6600 instead of my current E6600.

There is almost no difference between mass fight and no fight at all. Super FPS, tho I got a 8800 GT 756 MB vid card, might be it aswell.

The Q6600 is really nice. They're not expensive cause its one of the best sold processors.

Damn nice setup.

Getting the same stats on my copmputer next month. only getting Quad 2 Core and 3GB DDR3.

Do you got 4GB DDR2 or DDR4? anyway, im thinking of upgrading it to 4GB DDR4 rightaway so it runs even better with 4 games.

Did you buy those screens online? if yes, please tell me where from, and if they are good. atm im running with 2, 17" Samsung Syncmaster940BF, which were quite expensive and they are bloody damn good, but if im gonna run 5xBoxing i pref to have a bigger screen. and 22" seems nice!

Hey Astra, I remember you. :) I need to update my sig now, but i used to run the quad "crawdad" shammies on velen. I've since moved em to nordrassil to a guild with a bunch of co-workers. /wave!

Nice Setup.

Might I suggest you should move the bottom wow window to the left side, that way you can have a little bigger box to see other stuff.

Really thinking of getting a Q6600 instead of my current E6600.My Frames in AV are great. I have through the maximizer in Keyclone the max frames on my Main window set to 60 FPS and the other windows not in focus set to a Max of 15 FPS. Maybe during a big fight it may go down to 30-40 FPS but not very noticable.

I bought the Screens from a Store near my house. I live in Japan so i dont think i could really help you on where to get them other then online. They are LG Flatron Wide screen, and yes I love them. They are GREAT! 1680 x 1050 is the screen Resolution.

You know it never stops amazing me on how many ppl still call me a Hacker when i go into Town to show off. But then there is always someone there that explains what i am doing so i dont have to :D

I'm curious about what mod your using for your action bars?

I'm guessing you can switch between different ones depending on what you want to do?

I have not been able to do the same thing on any other characters though. for some reason i cannot reproduce it so you will have to play around with the settings to get it to work, sry. But i also use the G15 keyboard and have some of the keys set to do Shift+ Up arrow.

Blusilver & Menthu: How do you guys manage to get that good FPS when running Windowed Mode?
I'm running the following rig, not much unlike yours; Q6600, 8800GTX, 4GB DDR2 800Mhz, Raptor 10k rpm and Maxtor 7200rpm.
Quadboxing four shamans at the moment and I've set all instances of WoW to run on all four cores of my CPU and divided them with two on the raptor and two on my maxtor disk.
I run 1680x1050 resolution on my main and then I placed my three slaves underneath the main using Maximizer not much unlike blusilver, though my bottom one is to the left instead.
I don't have two monitors but the reason I chose to do this was so that I could use the PiP command and switch to a slave easily.
My problem however is that when I use Windowed Mode I can get 60 fps when running in the wild with no players around, but it'll drop every now again to 50 etc, but then all I have to do is enter Crossroads with no players in it and it'll start bouncing like crazy between 30-50 and feel extremely sluggish and jittery.
If I don't use Maximizer though and just play with my main completely maximized and the others minimized I get 60fps steady almost all the time, which is what you guys seem to get but USING Windowed Mode, which baffles me.

Oh and my graphic options doesn't seem to do too much difference, I've tried putting all slaves and main on lowest and it still drops like crazy and stutter.
Any ideas? Anything I'm missing?
Oh and what OS do you guys use? I use Vista 32-bit, don't know if it could be the OS?

On topic; Sweet setup, mate! ;)
