Another Noob with Qestions

[DKangels]

I would like to start dual-boxing but I don't know the best way to get started and have some questions (probably answered 100 times already so sorry in advance.) I would like to start off with a 5x box.

1. How much do you guys/gals lag with 5x Boxes running? I would think that you guys would lag a lot but maybe you have some secrets? Like special internet service, special router, etc.
2. How do you guys put up with the 75$/Monthly fees? What kind of jobs do you guys/gals have.
3. How many computers will I need to run 5x? I would only like to run 2 if its possible.
4. Electric bill, how much has your bill gone up since you've been dual-boxing?
5. How much of a investment is Dual-Boxing? (particularly 5x)

Now here are some of the questions answered from my view point.

1. I usually never lag unless I'm downloading a lot of stuff or my brother is (which doesn't happen ofter or only do it when we sleep). I run with Cox Cable (I live in Oklahoma) and my router is a simple wireless one I bought about 3yrs ago, about to upgrade to a regular wired router thats on newegg so it "should" help a little more.
2. Right now I'm about to start college (first year) and currently don't have a job yet, but thanks to rich grandparents , I get 300$/month for every month I'm in school, also my B day is coming up so I will have more pocket cash than usual. (I don't have anything to pay for right now so all the money I get is going into the bank and gaining interest.)
3. I have a pretty nice custom built computer right now, I can run 2 WoWs in the middle of shatt with no problem. (Will load stats later) If my computer stats are good enough, I guess all I'll need is a copy of this one to 5x?
4. ~~~~~
5. ~~~~~

Thanks in advance.

Also a few more quick questions even tho, If I start dual-boxing I won't need to know them for a month+.

1. About how long will it take me to do my first set of 1-70(Minus setup time, IE. Macros and Keyclone stuff, just lvling alone).
2. ^ About how long does it take to setup a new "squad" (I'm no computer genius but I'm fairly good with them)
3. Whats the best way to level? Questing / Grinding / Instances. Minus R-A-F.

It would be better to 4 box than to 5 box right now, because you can RAF from each of your accounts and have your entire group earning 3x the xp.

I run four off my machine (all from the same folder) but I did just build it.

It's only better to four-box than to five-box if you want to four-box rather than five-box There's no reason at all why you can't five box and get triple XP on all five characters.

But that wasn't the question. The original poster said "minus R-A-F", so RaF isn't an issue here.

I'm disinclined to spend my time answering questions that have been answered dozens of times before, but I did want to quosh any idea that you can't use recruit-a-friend with five characters.
