question re: hardware req for 10 boxing

[Sbrowne55]

If you're wanting to box 10 on one pc, i7 is the best route.

Quad has 4 cores, and I7 has 5, I found each core could handle 2 wow's running, anymore added fps issues, and lag.

Ram really is important, but even with 12 gigs, I was fine at lowest rez, the more the smoother it will be. I have 24gigs now, and there is never any lag at all.

There is a section within keyclone, called CPU affinity, you can assign each wow to a core.

Also if you plan to buy a super pc, maybe turn your old one into your main pc , and run your tank on it. Keep your boxing pc clean too, all thsoe programs can boggle your performance up.

Do you have the wow folder in a ram drive?

What motherboard/ram you using to get the 24G?



Why run a warrior when you have a Paliden as tank? You are able to off tank with a mellee while running a main tank also?

I think you mean the i7 has 4 physical cores and 4 logical cores, I think they are called

Wow has this built in and other boxing software has a way to set it also. For a quad, it is 255 but I do not know it they have shown the number for 6 or 8 cores. I think you use 1 set per toon such core 1 & 2; 3 & 4 so you use 1 of each type core.
