Single computer 5-boxing specs?

[merujo]

You know what I'd do if I were you?





I'd start 5 trial accounts so that I could test it out myself and get the answer to the question that I wouldn't have wasted time posting.

I was 6 boxing eq 1 and now started 5 box wow on a core i7 965 extreme 3.2 ghz (not overclocked)
memory : 12 go ram 1333mhz triple channel - graphic : asus gtx 285 top 1go
for disk speed i took 2 raptors 300 go 10000rpm and put them in striping.
screen is a full hd samsung 40' tv and case is silverstone raven for silence.

I have yet to see any lag, i think it could easily run a few more sessions.

One wide screen will be able to handle 5 WoWs (tiles the 4 alts down one side). The problem as mentioned is that they will be small and really hard to read. A multi-monitor setup really does shine with multi-boxing.

And as mentioned, downgrade to the 920 and get a better video card. A single 275 or better (5850 or better on the ATI side) will beat those 240s in SLI. The 240GTS is a 9600GSO on a smaller process so it uses less power. There are other options for video cards, but I was staying with the newest generation of cards for both vendors.

No, he's just naysayer.

It's plenty of a machine for almost anything except Dalaran. Dalaran is the Crysis of WoW, NO machine runs good there heh.

I run a 3.0 dual, 4gb and haven't had any problems or hiccups running 3 accounts at once. Ran through ogrimmar, was fine too.
