For those of you wondering if 2 computers is really better than one.

I'm still on the fence.

- A monster computer for 10 boxing with the goal of no lag and 4-60fps And the ability to stream... which may not be possible without workstation-grade hardware. With a desktop this was going to be a 3930k, 64GB RAM with WoW in a RAM drive, one or two 680s.... and it probably still would've lagged at some point.

- Or two medium-end systems with 5 accounts each.

Ultimately I want to take 10 toons the the docks in IOC, while streaming, and have it be smooooth.


So what are the specs on these two machines?

The two systems I have are overkill for 5 boxing. Both are i7 4ghz, 16GB 1866 ram, gtx680 and top tier 250gb SSDs. They are moving pixels on separate 24" viewsonics. Getting smooth with 10 on one computer and having good graphics seems near impossible without an unlimited budget. With 2 24" monitors I frequently had bad fps and that bum Prepared could literally lag out clients while fighting him. Unless you are running dual xenons or something stupid ridiculous like that I just don't see it working out as well as just 5 on two.

Oh and I actually don't mind that I can't get the 2nd computer windows on my first (when changing leads). I thought it would be annoying, but I have adjusted quickly and don't notice it anymore.

P.S. I have not noticed any accuracy problems between the two as long as the monitors are the same anyways. Seems just like one computer.
