Those are some really amazing drives. My wow folder is 11G so I would guess 16G is the minimum you can get away with.

2G ram is like $25 so umm 16G is umm $200 plus you can get their $250 dive so you can saturata a SaTa2 buss for $450.

But for $450 shouldnt you just go to 64 bit operating system and a motherboard that has 16G ram?

Well this can take 32G using the 2G $25 rams (16 of them or $400)

Dam this is $414 wholesale.

Ok so for $800 you can get 32G ram motherboard and ram and dont need any SSD. Dam I wish I never read this lol ... $800 X 6 is umm ouch.

The cheapest optrons are: $144 each wholesale, doubt you need two but if you run tons of wows then ya.

So you can load your whole wow folder into the system ram and have 20G left over ....

And with 32G you dont need a page file ...

Ill bet you can get 30 wows on that kind of machine np, I think.

Well hummm ... ummm ok my brain is going to blow up heh ...


Ok the optron does not seem faster then a 6000 duel core I dont htink based on its price. So for about $1200 you get more ram then my 6 machines (32G to 24G) but about 1/2 the processor power. But you only need ONE video card ... but you only have ONE monitor ... but you only need ONE keyboard and mouse.

Ummm ...

If everything is in system ram how much processor power do you need for say 30 wows? And can you play 30 wows with only one screen, well you cant ... well if you are full screen in all and dont mind flipping though 30 times to get to a particular caracter. ummm ... well. Wonder how fast pip works if everything is in system ram ...
