How good computer for 10 toons

[coglistings]

I have an amd phenom ii x4 940 and my mobo only holds 8g of ram. My computer does five *acceptably* but i cannot see it doing ten. I doubt yours will either.

Do the trial acct thing first.

here is the thing about trial accounts. trial accounts will not test your setup's ability to handle a pvp heavy exchange, especially if you are on a low population server where running around org / stormwind is your test. I have ran around with substandard systems that were just fine for lvl'in ,but they had issue with lag and follow breakin when I hit LK areas, although they performed just fine in bc/vanilla content. Not sure how cata has effected it as since those systems have been parted off to friends/family as I have upgraded my setup.

I agree with this. I had the same issues.

I ended up running 10 pretty well with i7 920, and 12 gigs of memory, 580gtx card, and SSD drive. I had to close down a lot of apps since 10 copeis of wow takes up close to 7-10gigs of memory. I ended up buying 24 gigs of ram for $300 and everything runs fine, aside from really heavy/ big TB battles. You probably don't need 24 gigs, but I need to keep programs like photoshop, visual studio and others open for work - so I needed it.

Awesome. This one pretty much sums it all up for me.

Thanks !
