Hello all,
My first time posting but have been reading and trying to learn all I can from the folks here. I am mostly a two boxer. I run a alienware dual core system from 05 with an ATI card and about 4 gigs of corsair DDR SD. I find that most time with settings reduced I can play two accounts without much problem. This leads to my next question: With a newer gen alienware and with 5-6 gigs of DDR could I reasonably run 3-4 instances on the same machiene interms of processor speed and graphics memory without significant lag? Further even if I could run 4 instances on one machiene, would having only one monitor make this impracticle?
I currently have a 70 holy pally and 70th mage (separate accounts) and have seriously considered running up 2-3 more shammies and keeping the mage in the mix as well for AOE scunnion, water food AB and so on.) I think I am ready to make the evolution up to 3-5 Boxing and think PAL and 4 shammies is problably the right answer. I use to 4 Box in EQ with a NEC, BST CLR and SK on one machiene but it became agonising to say the least.
This entire idea has really come about because I am damn tired of waiting for groups, evenin my own guild (which is great but I am in asia so time differences are killing me).
I pretty much understand how to do the techincal set up for 3-4 machiense etc, but I would prefer a once machiene and software solution if possible.
