I shouldn't have written i5. I was thinking "Lynnfields" and forgot that some of them will be called i5 and others will be called i7. I should have written i860 and i870.Quote:

Off topic I'm curious what the projections (purely guesses at this point) are for the expansion and multiboxing... I wonder if these current i7 920 systems, like the one I have, will be able to handle the ever increasing demands.
But a year or two from now, new PCs will probably be able to run more WoWs than your machine can. CPUs with 8 cores/16 threads are on the way.
I think Cataclysm will up the hardware requirements. Not much, but Im pretty sure it will make multiboxing a little bit harder on one PC.
They mentioned re-doing some basic graphics like gear and toons besides all the new areas. I feel if your computer handles Dalaran, it will be fineQuote:

What? Were not hardwired right now? I knew I took the wrong pill!Quote:
