is anyone running 5 instances of lotro on one PC ??? i need help making a new rig to handle it

[TheKeeperofTime]

I run 6 instances of LoTRO on my PC. I'm at work right now so I forget the exact specs, it is something like:
64 bit Windows 7 Professional
i7-920
12gigs DDR3 ram
2x NVIDIA GTX 285 (not in SLI, I have each one running a monitor)
Intel SSD (I have 6 installs of LoTRO on this one drive, could never get it to run multiple instances off one install)

I have one instance running on one monitor, I left the graphic settings at the normal defaults. The other 5 are running on the second monitor, and I turned the settings down to low. I used IS to spread out the processor cores among the 6 instances, I forget the exact distribution.
Everything loads very fast off the SSD, I use the mouse broadcasting in IS to click the login button for all 6 characters at once and they all load in right away at the same time. Same thing for zoneing into instances and buildings, it only takes a couple seconds for everyone to zone.

I'll check the performance monitor on my G15 keyboard when I'm playing tonight and let you know the usage %s it shows for CPU and RAM, that might give you an idea of what to get for a new computer.
I was around 30% CPU, and 55% RAM usage while playing tonight.

WOW just WOW! ( and not the game ) .... I bought ISboxer .... i swear ive been hardware boxing for over a decade ... why am i finding this so complicated ... i cannot get anythign to launch but one instance through IS ( followed that video exactly too ) ... heh id prolly pay some IT guy/gal to come get me up and running at this point for about 500 dollars ... i cannot believe i can not figure this out ... i have a decently high IQ

I'm at work right now, but when I get home tonight I'll take a look at my setup in ISBoxer and post my settings, that might help point you in the right direction.

Did you get everything working Trushot? I had a few snags about a month ago when I tried to launch multiple instances of LotRO, but I was able to get everything working without too much of a hassle. I should have some time this evening to work with you if you still need help. I am in the Central Standard Timezone and will be available around 4pm CST.

no still a no go for me ... either i have the wrong build of innnerspace or i have the TDM and did not know i had it ( i do not think i do but dont know how to check )

i have v1.09 build 5124 development patch download checked of innerspace

the only thing i can think of is the turbine download manager ... I do not think i have the turbine download manager but how do i check to see and or turn it off if i do ?

i feel like if i could just get the WIZARD luanch to work properly and get the windows all up and running i could do all the hotkeying stuff easily enough

What server are you on Trushot?

landroval

someone emailed me to go into properties and set them to run as ADMIN and that got it working at least all toons loading up so now i just have to figure out how this software works like hardware boxing ... albeit my current system will not do the job ... i feel comfortable at least in my purchase of new system now to get job done ...

im sure ill have a ton more questions as i progress becuase this is a little more mentally taxing than hardware boxing with 6 pcs and 6 lcds .. heh
