Top 4 boxes run across the screen 1 after another they are 360,248
Then the main window is : 1440, 649 right below them.
I am able to run 5 WoW clients on my laptop and it works very well, use optimizer to throttle the background FPS on your other boxes to about 10, and active to 25 or so. You shouldn't really need to look at them at all. I have one big window for my leader and just make smaller windows for the other 4, the corners overlap by one 'square' in optimizer so that the only blank monitor space is in the bottom right corner of the desktop (widescreen).Quote:

No, don't add another stick of RAM. Because windows XP is (crappy) 32 bit architecture it cannot handle more than about 3.2 gigs of RAM and it will only do that if you COMPLETELY disable page filing/virtual memory. You'll need to go to XP-64 (CPU upgrade if you don't have 64b cpu) or Vista-32. The most you will get without disabling the page filing/virtual memory is like 2.8 gigs or something stupid like that. My laptop has 2gb of ram and runs Vista-64 with a medium end graphics card (GeForce Go 7800 I think?)
You'd be better off with Vista-32.Quote:

Uh, I'm better off with XP-32 but my laptop drivers aren't supported by anything but Vista-64 :pQuote:

I've come up with a new layout.
The idea is to have your main across the top of the screen, your healer occupying three quarters of the remainder of the screen, and your DPS sharing the remaining section. It does this whilst retaining aspect ratio across all five windows.
Here are the coordinates for a 1440x900 screen:
Window 1 (main):
Position: 0,0
Size: 1440x512
Window 2 (healer):
Position: 0,512
Size: 1080x384
Window 3 (DPS):
Position: 1080,512
Size: 360x128
Window 4 (DPS):
Position: 1080,640
Size: 360x128
Window 5 (DPS):
Position: 1080,768
Size: 360x128
One thing that might be causing your Frame-rate decay is that wow will not do resolutions below 800x600... if either dimension is set below these absolutes, wow will reset the res to 800x600Quote:

Very old bump but I'm still wresting with my maximizer/resolution settings.
I have my main set above four slaves layed out across the bottom.
Settings:
No matter what I do, when I swap one of my slaves into my main window it goes to what appears to be a stretched 800x600 resolution. Based on Djarid's explanation I can presume that's because they started out as little windows. I've also tried setting the smaller windows to "1-to-1" in Keyclone but that doesn't help.Code:#

D,379,179
R,'region0','\\.\DISPLAY1',0,0,1440,720,(119.1),(1440x720),0
R,'region1','\\.\DISPLAY1',5,721,364,900,(120.1),(359x179),0
R,'region2','\\.\DISPLAY1',366,721,725,900,(121.1),(359x179),0
R,'region3','\\.\DISPLAY1',726,721,1085,900,(122.1),(359x179),0
R,'region4','\\.\DISPLAY1',1081,721,1440,900,(123.1),(379x179),0
So, any way for me to set things up so that when I swap a small screen to my main (i.e., region0) that I can get better resolution?
try changing the sections of (359x179) to match your main - (1440x720)
something like this:
They might be distorted when in the small position but they will be correct when swapped to the large region with the PiP hotkeys.Code:#

Tried that and I couldn't get the windows to swap (I use shift F8-F12). They flat out wouldn't switch.
