Autokey is actually AutoHotKey (hence AHK).

And you might want to note in the macro section that the Toon1-Toon5 need to be renamed to the actual toon names... uh and wouldn't you only need Toon2-Toon4 here?

Other wise very nice guide, I hope you continue it at some point.

Great. Very interesting, since I plan do do exactly the same

Jeez, I love this community... :lol:

I have some constructive criticism and possibly some extra info for you:

You should add a section about processor affinity. It needs to be dealt with, especially on quad-cores, as it greatly increases framerates. By default, only two cores will be used by the 5 WoWs.

My setup, btw, is this:
Q6660 Quad-Core CPU
4GB ram
8800GT

I am maxing out my framerate on 5 screens up at once (my setup is 4 quaded on left monitor, fullscreened main on right). My maxfps is set to 75, and I am 70+ fps on all screens almost all the time. Before I set the maxfps, I was getting 100+ fps almost everywhere.

The XP dual-view issue is really important and I missed it the first time reading your guide, just now. I tried using XP dual-view both with a single card w/ two monitors and two monitors on diff cards. Same terrible result both times.

thanks for the information Kalih, I added your information as a quote in the Computers section

This seems awfully familiar

Nice work - I love to see this continued and updated as technology continues to improve.

Cool. With your guide, I was able to start my 5-Box-Setup very quickly. Although I'm using Autohotkey, instead of keyclone. Thx mxracer050.

Can you actually set a max FPS?

I think it can be done by linking the vertical sync rate to the FPS rate, but if you run your monitor at 80Hz then that would set your max FPS to 80 too... Not being that interested in showing 80FPS and not having a GPU capable of such a feat (at 1280x1024) I'd rather set my max FPS to say 30, which would I think mean each client would have greater share of GPU... (or something.)

I run a resolution of 2048X768. I just thought i'd share the little maximizer .bat thing i made up for my resolution, in case anyone wanted to do the same.

[code:1]
REM batch file to launch 5 evenly spaced wows
REM Left monitor
c:\wow1\maximizer.exe --margin 0,0,0,1024
REM top of right mon
c:\wow2\maximizer.exe --margin 0,384,1024,512
REM bottom of right mon
c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 384,0,1024,512
REM bottom right, right screen
c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 384,0,1536,0
REM Top right, right screen
c:\wow3\maximizer.exe --margin 0,384,1536,0[/code:1]

Hope this is helpfull to someone.
Below is a screenshot of my desktop. One window is on the left monitor, and 4 evenly spaced windows. Tada!



I had to make a 3 window setup, on the same resolution for my friend, since he only uses three accounts.



Comments welcome.

Thank you for the information Jelly. I will add it to the guide. However, how about making a Tri-Box .bat like that for a 2560x1024

Soon as i get my other screen, I'll get right on that. The 32'' That i have only works with 60hz modes, and i cant get past 2048x768 right now lol. Moral is, dont buy a tv for a computer screen :-p
