"Multiboxing" on a laptop

[mikekim]

last year i had to purchase a laptop for someone to use for multiboxing. (i work for a famous royal family - so money is not an issue when they want something)

I decided to use an alienware M-17 (8gb ram, 7950m x2 running SLI GFX & 17" screen). this machine was quite happy running 5 accounts at between 35-50fps.

I myself run a Macbook Pro for multiboxing when i'm travelling - depending on foreign internet connection speeds i can get a playable game running between 3-5 accounts at once.

basically you need to get a machine that has a reasonable gfx card and 4-8gb of ram

How do you setup M/B'ng on a Macbook?

I have a MacBook Pro w/4Gb and am interested in doing so.

simple really create multiple copies of the wow application, use clonekeys or clonedkeys to broadcast the keys to the other windows

Ohhh, come on! You can't dangle that little tidbit and then NOT name the famous royal who multiboxes!!!!!

:cursing:

I cant tell you any names, but their country is making quite a lot of news for the wrong reasons atm... Don't know if there will be unlimited budgets next year

i second the need to know

or at least... can we get a pic of someone multi-boxing in a castle? (that'd be cool)

I can probaly post an old screenshot of one of the gaming suite setups (basically they rent a couple of hotel suites for 3 months and play warcraft constantly - we have that good a relationship with the hotel, they have allowed us to install our own 100mb leased line just for this purpose) - the screenshot was taken in one of the smaller rooms pre WOTLK, but even then they were using Quad Core machines, 8800 Ultras and 30" dell / apple screens. (we currently have over 30 of these machines ready to be deployed when required - (most now upgraded to i7, GTX 285 or 295)

$80 billion debt would do that

Check the software forums for Plexer. It's a pay solution but totally worth the $25 and active development.

Then just run multiple instances of wow. Check wowwiki's mac page for more info on setting up multiboxing on OSX.
