WoW Macro - Quest Accepting (simulate right clicking)

[Xzin]

I am actually not playing just yet. I have not played since the expansion hit.

I have, however, been quite busy building my new hardware. It's set to be one hell of an upgrade. Did I mention I am going to 10 box 2 Teams of 5. A Mage Team and a Warlock Team. Give me a little while to get them all to 70 though

I still play on Magtheridon - US.

Lol 10 box. Thats great. Hey Xzin, what are the specs on your lowest-end computers? I know Steph said that his weakest link was a P4 1.6ghz. I'm going to have 3 AMD Athlon XP 1700's, 1GB, 128mb vid as my 3 weakest links. I figure it should do the trick, but am always interested in other people's hardware.

The Zin mages all have AMD 3200+ or so single core processors and 6600 GT video cards. A gig of ram.... nothing too fancy as WoW is not a real intense game.

Xzin had until recently a 6800 Ultra video card and a 3ish ghz Extreme edition processor - also a gig of (pretty quick) ram. 2 Raptors in raid. I recently upgraded Xzin to a 7950 card.

My new boxes (not sure if I will use them for the warlocks or what) consist of 2 gigs of memory, AMD Athlon 64 5600+ 2.8 Ghz Dual cores, Geforce 8600s, and a mid to high end micro atx mobo. They have everything I would need to run the Zins on - sans video card - so why not save some space?

All of my computers have battery backup and redundant internet.

Honestly, under a gig of ram will cripple you in large fights. Get at least a gig. The next major bottle neck is the video card. At least a 6600 GT - perhaps a low 7 series is great..... avoid the 7200 as it sucks and avoid any integrated graphics because they also suck. The processor is nice but WoW is not a real intense game. Single core AMDs are dirt cheap and while they are not top of the line, they are good processors at a damn good price. Hence using them in all of my "Zins".

My new Xzin box is a beast. 3x 8800GTXes, Quad Core Extreme Edition, ultra high end motherboard, 4 gigs of ram, raptors in raid (considering going DRAM solid state), etc etc.

A bit more of a verbose answer than you perhaps requested but the bottom line is that any "decent" box can run WoW no problems. I think I spent about $400 per my newest Zin boxes.... and thats a bargain compared to what the last ones cost - and the new ones are quite a lot faster.

Not that it really matters - both will be able to run WoW at reasonable settings or better at max fps.

Don't forget to defrag your drives from time to time though.

I hate to knock AMD because I am a shareholder but their linux drivers SUCK. I don't buy AMD video cards and I can't at this point in time suggest them. Interestingly enough, I also own Nvidia stock. They were both pretty compelling buys a few weeks ago

yeah, I jsut acquired the AMD Athlon XP 1700's that I talked about earlier, and I figure that with a decent 128mb video card that they'll work fine for secondary computers. Right now, my secondary computer is a P4 2.6ghz (upgraded from a 1.8ghz) and it works great.

As this is one of my only hobbies, I may put more money into it such as you did, but right now I'm testing to make sure I actually like 5 boxing

Well, I finally got all my hardware setup and it seems that the wireless mice that were packaged with my keyobards cannot transmit to more than 2 computers at once. The keyboards are fine, but the mice are not.

Plus, it takes a little bit of time to "synch" the mouse with a particular computer, so I need to find a way to open a chat window with an NPC.

Is there any command that will open a chat with an NPC? essentially this is simulating right click once you have the NPC targetted.
