Need to know the specs i need to 5Box on 1 PC....

Specs as of right now:


E8400@3.6 (OC) could go to 4.0 with my new mem!!
8800GTS 512 mb (g92 core)
2 gigs memory
Windows Xp.

5 clients maxes my memory too 99% in cities and i have seen my cpu at 99% also on occasion.

I have a 4gig kit of Mushkin dDR2 on the way i know i need this!!! LOL


But the big question is should i go to a quad core cpu? i have a feeling ill have too. I know wow clients suck up the memory but also cpu intensive.

More info about me and my set up, I use keyclone, i play on a 20.1" viesonic monitor, i run all my clients from one exe. on the same hard drive..... Might go to a raid zero config soon on my Hd's.


In the late future im going to a 30" Dell ultrasharp (not for wow, but for everything ) so i can put four slaves on the viewsonic and main on the 30"
But by the time i get the 30" ill run 2 Pc's for wow instead of one.


So what i need is too know how to milk the hardware and get by with the cheapest upgrades to get my guys to 80.


So let me know about your 5boxing experiences/setup's on 1 pc. or add in any helpfull information that you would like.
