Epic Lagg [need a little advice]

[align=center]So i spent hours getting to understand how to dual/multi-instance... multiboxing basically but from what i've read around on here it's multi instancing what i'm trying to do. I used a guide off of here which helped me get pretty familiar with it all, (Beginners Guide 2 Dual-Boxing (3,4,5 boxing))
[/align]
I would like to thank him btw! For the hard work put into that.

And after a few hours getting use to just the addons and some macros after using the guide, playing around a bit - i was having trouble with LAG the entire time. I was planning on doing 3 accounts,,,the decided hey, 4 might be able to even work... turns out, after opening just the second window i knew that WASNT going to work out :(

I really thought my system would be able to handle it... especially since i completely reformatted it to being as new as it was on the first day that i bought it, plus all the stuff i've added into it.

I have two- 512 ram cards (1gb), and an NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics card (verto), as well as an extra internal 200gb hdd and the 180gb hdd it came with.

actually let me copy my screen real quick of some system info....
here we go-

Anways - Is it time for me too buy a new computer and just place the goodies into that one... or, is it possible to somehow fix things up a little so that i can at least lvl 2 char at the same time... maybe even 3! Such as simply modifying (err...unmodifying lol) the game settings or graphics somehow idk :) that would make my week off if was able to figure that out hah. Oh and i have comcast highspeed... if that helps at all

Anyways, i hope to contribute too this forum which is by far one of the best i've come across so far (WoW-wise), once i'm not so new to things and all

thanks for any input :P :P

You definitely need more RAM. I'm not sure about your CPU, and your GPU's are pretty out-dated. I'd bet that 2 is out of the question.

ok thanks :) i'll have to get on ebay then...
Any recommendations everyone?

Things to get -
+RAM
+GPU

How many WoW's do you want to run?

For 5:
Q6600 Quad Core Processor
4-8gb RAM (w/64bit OS)
Geforce 8800GT Graphics card

For 2-3:
Dual Core Processor
3gb RAM (4 if you have a 64bit OS)
8800GT is still cheap enough that you should get it.

ok ty lotss :)
I'm going to really look into the Geforce 8800GT, and try to get back a job i had to quit for school so that i can buy the processor and ram, basically just build myself a new computer. But the Geforce 8800GT will be a nice thing to start off with.

How can i tell if i have a 64bit operating system?

Yeah i definitely should invest in a new system completely... i doubt i could get anything to work on this... what use to seem perfect is now 3-4 years old ha
