About to start multi boxing but...

[OpTiMo]

As of right now I've been doing the "ghetto" multi box where I've been using 2 accounts for a while but never with any program such as keyclone (which I just purchased last night). Mainly just putting a guy on follow, alt/tab back to the main and run around an instance with them. I have a pretty nice comp which I suspect would run 4-5 accounts at once but my question is.... I was going to go out and buy 2 more new WoW accounts for a total of 4. Will I actually have to install the additional wow copies or do I just need the CD keys off of them to make the new guys? Is it a bad idea to run that many accounts off one comp? I dont have another comp to take the stress off running so many accounts at once. Also, if you don't mind a shameless plug I'd like to leave my system specs so I could get a yes or no on whether the specs would be sufficient for 4-5 accts. quad core Q9550, ati 4870x2, 8gb ram @1066, asus rampage mobo all at stock speeds. the other pieces I suspect wouldn't make much of a difference if I could run that many so no need in listing them. I can't get on the Wiki to check some of this stuff out because I'm at work and "surf control" has it blocked. Thank you in advance for any reply.

nope you dont need another install just the cd keys, and yes your pc will run 5 no problem, might be some lag in dalaran though :/

Thanks kedash00 for the quick reply. I guess I'm off to target to get the other copies. I'm sure I'll be seeing more of all of you in the future :P

Actually you don't need to buy more copies per say. Just get the trials versions then upgrade the accounts to full /bc/lich

Don't buy new copies >.<
just RAF yourself twice instead, and get the triple xp +mounts etc.

You don't need to install more copies of Wow on your machine, you can run 4 from the one install you have.
In some cases it has been beneficial to duplicate the wow folder 4 times, and run each toon from their wow folder to keep their settings etc separate.

There are a number of models to follow, and most are documented in the wiki (link in the toolbar above, between chat and gallery)
