Meet:

Darthette, Felopia, Feleight, Felarious and Felown.

They are currently rampaging the BE starting area. I have already gotten a few "WTFs" and one "Waste."

I do it all with Keyclone $10, and they are a whole lot of fun.

Only one PC. Only one monitor. Only one mouse. Only one keyboard. Only one user.

I play in overlapping Windows using Vista. I turn EVERY bell an whistle off. Only the main screen gets any environmental detail or draw distance.

It works really well.

Just saw that you are on Daggerspine.

I have a 54 Druid collecting dust over there.

What faction are you?

I am looking at a similar setup, but without being nasty, thats not a 24" dell is it?

The Dell is 1920x1200 meaning that the 2 windows at 800x600 would cover the height of the monitor, and nearly the width.

Have I missed something?

I am looking at this setup myself and would love all the information I can.

I think it's WoW Maximizer:



This is a simple program that launches World of Warcraft in windowed mode, removes the window borders and maximizes the game window. It also optionally changes the display resolution.

This servers three purposes:

1. It makes it possible to run the game in "pseudo-fullscreen" mode on one display and use other programs in another. No need to see that window border all the time.
2. It makes the game handle popup windows gracefully - instead of switching resolution and minimizing the game the new window will simply show on top of the game window.
3. It makes it possible to run the game in high resolutions, even when the game itself fails to detect them.
