New Dual-Boxer and a little question for you guys

[Niad]

Hi there,
Just started today with dual boxing, tried 2 shamans but only to lvl 2 hehe just testing how it works, all the tutorials and the wiki helped me alot to set my pc to dual box, but i was wondering if my pc can handle 3 wow's at time.
My pc is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 6000+
2GB DDR2 RAM (i think i need more RAM maybe)
2 Nvidia 9800gt on SLI
The PC is liquid cooled

Is this a good setup for DB? Do you think it can handle 3 wow's at once? maybe i will need more RAM? i'm gonna try it tomorrow anyway but i have to go sleep for now, c ya tomorrow and thanks in advance for the answers!

Sorry if you don't understand something, english isn't my first language :P

It should be able to handle three just fine. The best way to find out is to create another trial account and test it yourself.

I don't think you will have any problems, best to try it yourself ofcourse but my system is an amd 5200+, 3.5g ram, nvidia 6800 (lol) and I run 5 clients (none are minimized) ...shatt and org are alittle choppy but outside of those places it's seemless

should run 3 ok - but as you pointed out more ram always helps

Just want to point out that 32 bit XP and Vista are limited to 3.5GB of ram or so due to physical address range limitations. If you want more ram, you need to use 64 bit versions. WoW can use as much as 1GB per copy. So 2 copies on 2GB machine will eat up all your ram. 3 copies will still run, but it will cause lag due to swapping of memory to hard drive. You can slightly improve it by using RAID 0 as your main drive. But only real solution is to switch to 64 bit version of OS and have a lot of physical ram installed. Like 1 gig per copy of WoW. CPU is not very important as long as you have only one copy of WoW running in foreground.
