Reyals - New 3 boxers thinking of 5 boxing / Help please

[Reyals]

Hi there,
I started 3 boxing Shamans only 2 days ago, they are all level 43 now but I'm really thinking of 5 boxing.
Only thing stopping me is my hardware, I wanna know if I can run it smoothly.
My specs:

Motherboard: X48-DQ6 (Gigabyte)

Processor: E8400 - at 3.0 Ghz (Intel Dual-Core)
RAM: OCZ Reapers 2GB PC 9200 1150MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB)
Graphics: Single ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 4870
HDD: Seagate 250 Gb and 500 Gb
Keyboard and mouse: G15 (v2) and G5
Cooler: Freezer and Case: Poseidon Gigabyte
PSU: Be Quiet 1000W Dark Pro

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I wanna 5x Shaman for having fun, so I don't mind if it would be easier with 4x Shaman 1 Paladin =)
Thanks for reading in advance !
Regards,
Rey

for the record, I can run the 3 acc's on highest settings but as I don't care about graphics for now I run them all low on around 100-200 FPS stable.
No lag.

You will need 2gb more memory. running 5 acc's with 2gb will be stuttering alot.

Rest seems just fine

[Reyals]

Ok then, will 2x 2GB pc6400 do then ? Apacer...
Instead of pc9200 as I don't wanna but another set of reapers =)

[Lorune]

Yeah that'll do just fine.

I didn't see what OS you run but if it isn't 64 bit you can only use 3 gb of RAM Other than that I think you will be fine. 5 Wow's use most of 2 of my 4 cores so you may have to optimize windows a bit and make sure nothing is running resident (iTunesHelper, Google Desktop, etc.) that will eat up your CPU utilization.

[Lorune]

actually XP uses 4gb, but it reserves a x amount of memory for the system/harddrive/videocard etc

Usually u end up with 3.2gb

But true anyhthing more then 4gb is a waste on a 32bit OS

I`m running 4 shamans on my shit system:
amd 3000+ (one core :-()
2gig ram

It works good enough. My used window runs at 20fps and the slaves at 5. I know it`s not optimal but it works. So you should have no problem with it.

I was able to load up my 4 shaman on my old computer while waiting for my new computer to arrive. My old computer is way worse than yours. Expect huge issues if you're in a crowded town, but using lowest settings out in the field should allow you to play most of the time.
