    There's no dedicated video card in that machine. You can't multibox without a dedicated video card. If you've been looking throughout the topics (like you said you were) then you would have seen that you're looking to spend approximately $1000 USD on a new machine that is capable of running 5 instances of World of Warcraft.

    There's a reason that most sites, including the one you linked, have an entirely separate category for gaming machines. Unfortunately, that site is pretty skimpy on the specs of their "gaming" machines.

    This should be more of what you're looking at:
    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/medion...52211-pdt.html
    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/alienw...52221-pdt.html
    Or even this...
    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pav...81974-pdt.html

    That site keeps listing GTX 560's as having 1.25GB of VRAM when that isn't true. GTX 560's come with 1GB of VRAM and when using double-density RAM, 2GB. The site also lists a 2600 (non-K model) @ 3.9GHz (incorrect) and says that those processors have a "front side bus" which hasn't been used on Intel processors in years.

    And 6GB of RAM on two of those machines I linked? What? The most expensive HP machine I linked shows that it has 1x2GB + 1x4GB.

    This site is making my head hurt.

    Even with a GTX 560 you'll most likely have to keep your video settings pretty low, and you might be forced to use DX9 instead of DX11 to save on VRAM.
