My pc setup and questions

Hey all,

ive been trying to multibox for some time. a year ago this multiboxing hitted me and i was in love :P bought 1 new computer just so i could multibox my setup is:

Motherboard: MSI X48 Platinum

Processor: Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz (EN8400)

RAM: OCZ DDR3 running at 1033Mhz (got total of 4 gig) but since i still use XP 32 bit.

Video Card: ATI EAH3870 x2 1gb. (this video card seems to have a problem tho. wen i start 4 wows and stand in SW every piece of clothing on people turn black and after that wow hangs and after that i get a 132 wow error and every wow shuts down. but when i change to my 8600GT with 512 it seems to run just fine if i extra cool my case. dont have a clue why that is. but sure sux i putted 400€ down for a videocard wich sux. (anyone got a tip to get this working plz let me know)



now i was continus playing with 10-20 FPS. i tought i could use an upgrade with northrend. and i was thinking about an upgrade for my pc or just buy a whole new one. could anyone tell me what i should do. what are my best options. what defenetly needs an upgrade.

i apoligise for my bad english

Greetings,

two things come to mind. I was having bad luck with 5 toons in any city, like SW. Went to 8 gigs, no more problems.

You said GFX x2... Are you using SLI or I guess X-fire? won't work in WoW( there is a way but it costs alot more.

no this is my video card:

i dont use Xfire/SLI

Well I can offer 3 suggestions to help you. First switch to a 64 bit operating system. Vista64 is 99.99 at newegg. Second double your ram so youve got 8 gigs. And 3rd get rid of that ati card. I have never had anything but problems and dissapointment from ati. Video cards are cheap. Get a better one like an 8800gt for like 100 bucks and sell that ati on ebay lmao.


Edit- In total my suggestions will cost you about $250 which is cheaper than a whole new pc and let you multi box just fine :) But I almost forgot to mention.. make sure your power supply can handle more ram. Like 500w or better.

yea. already was planning to get vista 64. just need to buy some more gigs :)

il just have to see for the video card. not sure bout that yet. i mean i spended 400€ on it. and defenetly ATI sux :P but still wana try with it.

il just wait till my mobo gets back from RMA and il give it a try :) thanks alot for the tips.

EDIT: and i forgot to mention i already have 700W GameXtreme. :) il manage thnx alot
