Time for some upgrades...

I am in a same boat

I am thinking about going to a 5 box, I am currently play a dual box setup with 2 locks. This is my current setup

MSI p6n platinum 650i

Intel e2160 1.8 overclock to 2.8

4 GB of OZ 4-4-4-15 Ram

2x MSI 8600GT 512 running in Dual monitor mode expect when I am play a First Person shooter, then I switch to SLI mode

2x WD 500 in Raid 0

2x 19" monitor 1680x1050

Window Vista 64 SP1



Will this setup be powerful enough to run a 5 box

Running Main with 1024x768 (40 fps)and all my alt at 800x600(20fps)

I am using mulitboxer V2 and Octopus to multibox



I also have the option to run Tri box on this system and off load a Dual box on an old system I have lying around

Amd 3200xp

2 g memory

360 gb hd.

Nvidia 7600 GS 512

Window XP SP3

17 in 1280x760 monitor



I also want to know if I will be better off with a Q6600 cpu, a faster
Dualcore CPU, or put in 4 more G or RAM, or getting a powerful video
card.



I want to get the best bang for my buck :thumbsup:



Thks for any help or suggestion.

sorry about the double post

according to MS it is 4GB address space but only 3 GB Ram, to use MORE then 3 you must have a 64bit OS

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa366778.aspx

4 gigs is avaible to the os and 2 gigs "for each 32-bit process" that means each instance of wow can use up to 2 gigs of ram since wow only uses maybe at max 500 megs this is a non issue.

the 3 gig thing is for for programs compiled with the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE switch which allows one process to use up to 3 gigs of memory.

And if yeh got 4 gigs of ram and yeh don't see 4 gigs in windows its because its being used by something.
