question for you guys/gals using one computer

[MiRai]

thanks for the replys i am going to use a few of the specs some of you have mentioned one thing i need to know.
Back before when i was playing if i ever played more then 1 per pc it was told to have muti wow folders
The solid state drives seem to be alot smaller and the wow itself is close to 30 gigs now do yall still use 5-10 wow folders or have you switched to runing all from the same folder?

Your choice of multiboxing software is dependant on how many WoW folders you'll need. If you plan on using anything current
like ISBoxer or HotKeyNet you won't have to worry about symlinking or having multiple folders. I would also recommend at
least a 64GB SSD for WoW since some folks who had smaller drives had problems with large patches and their drives
running out of space during the actual process of patching.

and looks like everyone but a few are using the i7 I am thinking of using the i7 2600
but a few have the i5.
Now adays what is better? and what motherboard would you recommend now adays to pair it with.
I Am not worried about spending a few more bucks to build a newer system to last a year or so.

There are 1366 i7's and 1156 i7's and i5's, all of which are the older generation. The new i7/i5 line up runs off of the 1155
chipset [AKA P67 or soon to be Z68.] I chose the i7 2600K myself because I like the hyper-threading for other applications
that I use. However, its little brother, the i5 2500K, does not have hyper-threading. Both of those processors come in K and
non-K formats -- K meaning it has an unlocked multiplier and can be very easily overclocked (if that is your thing.) K's are
more expensive but will have a better resale value later down the road if you want or are forced to sell your machine.

I read this before, and its still in my brain. I am considering this as an option also.

I still have an older model seagate 160GB HDD 7200 rpm. Is it better to have the operating system on the HDD and WoW on the SSD? or vise versa?

When I picked up my SSDs I picked up 2 for this exact reason... because I wasn't sure which I would rather
have on a single drive since I do more than play WoW. I would guess that if I had to only choose one drive...
that it would be for WoW.

Ya you put wow not the operating system on the SSD.



You are using a lot of your system ram without any problems, 12G for 10 clients (let that be a notice to others that at 12G system ram you are really pushing the limit of 10 boxing). 16G minimum for acceptable10 boxing.

Otherwise looking like the 580 3G is the way to go.

Only if you're not cool enough to have more than one SSD.
