I'm currently running two accounts on two PCs, and ofc, i got the bug and need to get another (maybe even two more later down the road ;))
But the thing now is that i really want to stick with having fullscreen on my main on my main comp and have the slave comp running split screen for the two other chars.
Right now i'm dualboxing using Synergy and Multibox. Do i have to switch applications for this to work ?
How would you guys run it, having that in mind .. ?

Main comp: Quad 2.5ghz Cpu, 4gb Ram

Slave comp: Dual 2.2ghz Cpu, 2gb Ram

Hey Dude, What i did( i have 2x22" and a 20" monitor) i turned 2 monitors on their sides and split the screens in 1/2 res 1050x840. That way the 2 alts had a decent viewing area. you can rotate your screen using your video card control panel.
On my other monitor i have my main at full 1680x1050. I run keyclone and kavoom in my setup and it really works great. With keyclone using maximizer you can set so that your 2 alt windows will automatically change to 1050x 840 res every time.

Depending on your video cards you can should easily be able to run 3 wow on your main pc and 2 on your alt pc. >>> HERE ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=64437&highlight=#post64437') is a picture of my 2 pc 3 monitor setup (this has improved alot since that photo must update). I also got the bug starting with 2 warrior/priest then 3 mages then went all out. I have a feeling ill be complete with my setup around the time i hit 70 :P

Hope this is of some help for you.

Peace out

I have a Geforce 9800GTX on my main comp.
Hey, can't i just run dualscreen on my main and run two accounts on that ?
Setting up the other window to show up on the other screen using maximize ?
I just realised i have a 19" just laying around doing nothin'

I did it the easy way. scrapped multibox and synergy and used Octopus instead.
Turned the 19" over and now running two small widescreens on it instead :P
Yey ! I'm running 3 chars on one PC :D

Grats on getting it all fixed up. :) I run Octopus, too, and have zero complaints (version 1.3.2).
