Ahh, the i7.. I was hoping someone would mention this.
I'm going to be building another comp here next week (to go along with my initial comp... specs on comp 1 are: 8 gbs RAM, e6600, vista 64, and an Nvidia card that I couldn't even begin to tell you the number of while I'm at work here... it ran me around $350ish, 1 year ago)
What I'm planning on building is as follows:
i7 920 processor (g/f gave me one of my xmas gifts)
12 GBs DDR3 RAM, PC-12800 spec
?? Video Card(s).. (I'm not opposed to buying two, but read my note below)
What I'm wondering is as follows:
1. SLI is currently not an option because I *NEED* to have 2 monitors running together (try doing web programming without two monitors... it sucks, trust me... and I don't want to have to unplug a monitor every time I wish to play WoW, UNLESS it's my only option). From what I've seen (one of my friends runs a SLI setup), you can only have 1 monitor active at a time w/ SLI... If theres a way around this, I would like to hear it
2. What would it take (theory crafting here) to run 10 WoW copies on 1 computer with 30 fps (min) in Dalaran? Could a single i7 Processor + 12 GBS of RAM + (the video cards you mention) handle it with 2 monitors running? Thoughts? I can currently run all 10 copies of wow on 1 computer (but the FPS begins to diminish at like 8 copies or so on my machine listed above - the 8 gb one); RAM doesn't seem to be the issue, but the gfx card does, and I'm assuming it has something to do with both monitors running.
Thank you
