Once I quit running 5 wows on my q6600 8gig ram machine dalaran has become like any other city. I use my q6600 to run 2 wows and my new i7 12gig ram to run the other three. It's 100% better! A q6600 worked fine in BC running 5 wows. However, in wotlk it just doesnt cut it. My advice for anyone with a q6600 would be to box using 2 pc.
I could not agree with this more. About a month ago I was completely frustrated with how my q6600, 8ghz memory, GTX 260 was running Dalaran and some areas of the game. I was torn between upgrading to an i7 and a bigger video card or fixing up my broken second machine. After much debate I bought a cheap motherboard 4 gigs of memory and a 3ghz dual core processor for my second machine and spent under $200. I added a 22inch mounted vertically for another $250 with the Ergotran mount. I now run all 5 clients (3 on the q6600 and 2 on the dual core) with absolutely zero lag in dalaran. On top of that because I'm using 4 monitors I no longer have to stare at a bunch of very small instances of wow. The lowest resolution I use is on the 22inch vertical mount where I run 2 wow's at 1050x880. I couldn't be happier. The last upgrade I need is a vertical mount for my 2 19inch monitors.
