Hey, everybody. I'm looking to get started multiboxing. Right now, I'm in pre-pharmacy school, so money and time are tight, but I love to play this game in my free time. I'm currently two-boxing a mage/preist combo on my single computer. I'm looking to build myself 4 more computers, and had a few questions. I used to be relatively tech-savvy, but the past few years I have fallen behind.
1. How can you tell if a GPU is PCI-E 16x electrical? I'm looking at a GeForce 7300 GT, but I can't find any information about its PCI-E specifications, other than the fact that it is compatable.
2. Is there any way I can make sure my motherboard will fit into the case I have picked out other than physically measuring the dang things? I'd love to order them from Tigerdirect.com, due to the good price, but I've never actually built a computer before (though I have replaced just about every part that one can fry while powergaming...heh), I'm not sure how to go about picking the parts. I know about matching the sockets and such, but I'm just a little worried about the components physically fitting in the boxes and such.
Thanks!
