I am currently 4 boxing with keyclone on a rig that has some similarities to your situation. I asked about OS because your current OS (that I use too) can only handle 3.5G of memory, and memory is the only real deficient spot in your current rig right now. A second HD can offer slight improvement if you're running multiple folders, I use 2 drives.


I'm guessing you want to hardware box instead of software box because you want to pvp? From what I've read from the old hands here that's the principal benefit of hardware over software multi-boxing, though many of them went hardware back when software wasn't really a viable option. Wonder how many of them would go software in today's environment.

If setting up the maximizer is your biggest hurdle against software boxing, rather than struggle with it yourself, I recommend you cheat. Go to Keyclone's site and download a maximizer template that fits your monitor and your number of accounts and import it. Here's the link . And Rob the keyclone developer will go way above an dbeyond to support you and help you get things ironed out. The Keyclone site has a lot of tutorials, setup videos, sample template files, and Rob will PM, chat, email, or phone discuss if needed to get you rolling. Hell I've seen Rob create maximizer templates on request specifically for various users (including me). Software boxing is much cheaper and a good way to dip a toe into the multibox RAF water. You can always go hardware later or over time.

If you're dead set on hardware boxing I can't help you much, though I always liked Fursphere's Full Hardware Ghetto Five-Boxing - A how-to guide.
