Good way to go but only thing i would say about free trials and dual boxing is the fact you cant trade, which could kill some dual-boxers. But just my 2 cents.
trial accounts would be for testing to see if its something you liked anyways before you commit to purchasing more accountsQuote:

True! Only problem is I sold some of my old parts and I sold my 8800GTS320mb. Yes, the one I had in my current system that also was the last graphics card I had in the house. :thumbdown:Quote:

So now I am planning on purchasing a 9800GTX and using the EVGA step up program to get a 9900GTX when they come out (July). Sooooo, basically I am holding out on timing so I will be able to Step-Up
but I think im pretty much f*cked. No video card so no gaming whatsoever and I am stuck with my laptop . . . :S
No WOW for me for a long time it seems. :huh:
ouch. you can get a few good graphics cards for cheap.
XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail is only 104.99
or you could go with
SAPPHIRE 100218L Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
for 84.99 (also comes with a $15 rebate, so 69.99)
granted the second you my not be able to dual box, maybe 2 instances of wow, maybe(ive never ran ATI so idk how well they run). The first you could get 3 easily. 5 if the rest of your specs work well
Naw, I need something that is going to really haul ass at high resolutions because i'm picking up two Samsung 226BW 22' monitors in a day or two. I am so broke it's not even funny! :DQuote:

FYI,
With the above system I described with 0 overclocking, I got 5 wow windows...
4- 512x400
1 - 2048x1600
Stable framerate of 15-30fps on all of them. Throtteling down back windows to 15fps, resulted in a more stable 30fps on the main 2048x1600 window.
Ram used was approx - 3.3gb of physical. Therfore I would recommend 8gb of ddr3 ram for 10 windows.
Boot time was very fast, I would say from pressing start, to seeing 5 wow windows was <10sec.
Wouldn't it be ALOT cheaper to run two nice machines like q6600, 4 gig blah blah blah.. across a network? Higher end computer equipment tends to cost like 4x the money for barley double the performance.
Depends?? I got the QX9770 for free and I will be getting the Samsung 22' monitors as a trade from a buyer I sold some stuff too. The only items I have had to purchase were a motherboard and now a graphics card . . followed shortly by 2 320gb Hard Drives. :thumbsup:Quote:

So long story short, I got a computer that is twice as fast as a comparable Q6600 (stock) for half the price. :thumbsup:
Yeah, I experience the same as far as WOW clients windows and loading times being DRAMATICALLY faster. You have the GX2 though I am only goingQuote:

GTX and praying my Trade-Up lasts until the 9900GTX comes out :pinch: (fingers crossed) :pinch: . I will however only have 2 22' monitors so my max
res on my main would be 1680x1050, so maybe I won't have the low fps situation that you have with your main. Also, I want to go SLI in the future
and having one dedicated card per display wouldn't hurt. As far as 10 boxing goes though, I don't have the memory for it right now. :(
Have you tried overclocking that bad boy, Suvega? I have to get a different Heatsink/Fan, to push mine further, but I think I am content with 4ghz.
