Update: How the 5x Boomkins are doing

[Evilseed]

Hey guys,

I do know that some laptops can play 5 at once. I have an alienware m-51 with a core 2 duo (desktop version) with dual video cards SLI Gefore 7900gtx OC and 4gigs of ram, solid state hard drive for main OS and raptor 10krpm hard drive for my WoWs. The key is to have some extreme graphic processing power. It plays 5 wows just fine.

Too bad I never use the laptop. Ever. Wanna buy it?

I´m 5 boxing on a laptop nearly like this it works fine (for me) I only have to avoid bg's but 5er instances or questing are ok.

But I´m still in outland so I don´t know how it is in wotlk then.

I have all at very low settings and just one monitor.

Intel Core Duo T2450 2.0 GHz, 2Gb Ram NVIDIA GeForceGo 7600

have you tried walking around in shatt or especially dalaran?

Good rule of thumb--

1 core per client = good performance
2 cores per client = OK performance
more than 2 cores per client = asking for trouble

Think you meant to say "clients per core" rather than "cores per client", but I agree with your rule of thumb.

I run 5 clients on 4 cores and the asymmetry just irks me. Not so much I'd quad box though.

WTB multi-box friendly CPU (Penta-core FTW).

Dalaran not because i´m still in bc shat yes but i avoid it like the bgs it´s not worth to get there.

Every other city is ok.

LOL sorry for that but had to laugh at comments of people saying pushing it with a laptop. I have a dell xps m1350 with intel core duo t9300 @ 2.50 ghz 4gb of ram 32 bit operating system with a NVIDIA GeForceGo 7700 GPU with 512 MB RAM graphics card. I multi- box with 5 accounts on this computer and have np at all. I mean it maybe really killing the graphics card at points but i havent seen any real problem. My main screen sits at 34 fps and my alts are sitting at 25 fps and in major cities the worse they get is 18 on alts and around 24 on main. Manageable and not a problem to move around but hey i bet i could do better.

I haven't booted it since I bought it (No joke, the laptop cost $5250) but it ran in Shittrath just fine.

Yea I don't use it either. It was a gift anyway. It is UBER powerful. Funny thing is, with a full battery charge which is a 12 cell extended battery, it only goes 32 minutes LOL. I have 3 batteries tho.

Somebody buy it off me

Here are the specs for my laptop:

Asus G1 gaming laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz processor, 2GB of DDR2 667 RAM, NVIDIA GeForceGo 7700 GPU with 512 MB RAM

Any chance of success with running 5 at once? Are players receptive to doing 10 man instances while you control 5 of the players?

Just as an FYI I was using a Dell laptop (e1705, or Inspiron 9400) with 1.8g dual core pentium M, 4 gigs of ram and an nvidia 7900gs card and I was 5 boxing fine. the biggest difference was symbolic linking of the directories.

i think you'd be fine but cities like shatt or dalaran (and probably PVP) would really lower the framerate.

instances and raids were fine (10man)
