Oh no! Not another "Will this computer be capable of multiboxing?" thread!

Also, using Hotkeynet's <SetAffinity All> command it load balances nicely and I'd say my cores stay around 40%, even in Dalaran. I haven't sat there and watched them, but I'm confident the i7 handles the load just fine. If you don't set your affinity, you'll find that your first 2 cores out of the 8 shown are really getting hammered and you may have a CPU bottleneck... that's one of the many reasons HKN is so great :thumbsup:

Sounds good, thanks for aiding me!
(Althought that last part sounded a little like advertisement...)

I'm doing my best to advertise for Freddie (HotKeyNet). I feel so thankful for his product and currently the only way I can contribute is by advertising and spreading the gospel

Well all this time I have been using keyclone and I have sort of grown to it. Is HotKeyNet easier/better to use?

Many people have been happy with HotKeyNet, and many people have been happy with KeyClone. KeyClone has a far larger subscriber base and I'm sure it's a quality program. I do think that HotKeyNet has certain features that aren't available in other products (mostly to do with the mouse broadcasting) but some have complained about the learning curve (in my opinion if you can understand WoW macros then you can understand HKN).

So what you're ACTUALLY saying is that I can do almost as good with older technology instead of spending more money on newer technology?
Can you tell me what you are boxing on and when/if you experience delays, lag, sluggish preformance etc.

I run my 4 sham on a intel core 2 duo 2.4gz with 4g ram, windows xp - geforce 8600 500mb.
4x run at: 800x600 / 25fps / lowish settings but not min.
No lag, minimum stuttering - responsive enough that I was able to 4box+1box arenas (badly, but not due to pc performance)

Does fine everywhere but Dal - In dal I have to wait a good bit for everything to load up.

Depending on what I am doing with that machine and which toons I am playing I use either keyclone or innerspace (innerspace for kickass PiP swaps, keyclone because that's what my sham were setup with and I am laaazzzy).

I'd probably suggest going a bit beefier than that... but I'm making due just fine

[Seraphaw]

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I will stay with this!
Just one more question though, which OS would be the best to make due with?

[Tombs]

You can't get over 4 GB of RAM on a 32-bit OS. I'd go for Vista Home Premium 64-bit or Ultimate 64-bit.

You'll be more than fine with that rig.

I run 5 accounts using an i7 920, 12 GB RAM (six should be fine), GTX 260, SSD. In 5 man instances my main gets 50 FPS because I cap it at 50. In Dalaran my main gets about 35 FPS. My slaves are always capped at 10 FPS. Make sure to load balance on your proccessor cores.

I'd suggest moving from 4 to 5 unless your goal is PvP.

About Dalaran, when you are moving around do you experience alot of annoyance like: "I can't wait to get out of this place! ARGHH!"
To be honest I am afraid to go up to 5.
4 cores, 4 clients.
4 cores, 5 clients.
;(

Dont worry, with i7 and 5 clients you ll have big place to use other program

That's the most beautiful screenshot I ever saw :thumbsup:
I will buy the computer in my original post within the next month. Thanks alot! 8o
