    Default Trying to run multiple WoW accounts

    I have recently built a new computer completely from scratch... and I can't understand why I am having problems running 2 WoW accounts. This computer IMO should be able to tear up 2 WoW accounts with ease. Well let me give you the details.

    *Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 965 Nehalem 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
    *COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-C50-EMBA-D2 1250W ATX Form Factor 12V V2.3
    *EVGA 017-P3-1294-AR GeForce GTX 295 1792MB 896 Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready
    *EVGA E759 CLASSIFIED LIMITED EDITION 3-Way SLI (x16) + PhysX w/ECP & NF200 1366 Intel X58
    *COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
    *CORSAIR Dominator GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit
    *Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5
    *Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5
    *Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 120mm SSO CPU Cooler
    *Microsoft Windows XP Home SP3

    Any suggestions would be very much appriciated...
    Thanks again

    ok, assuming it is not an ad.. we're here to be helpful after all.

    Can you tell us more about your problem?
    Can you load both Wows and they are slow? or is it just that the second one won't load?

    when you run only one, what is the frame rate (Ctrl-R in game) , and is it laggy?

    Sorry bout the links... I just copied and pasted from my invoice. The main problem is when i try to load two accounts it frames bad. Like i tried to log my hunter and my death knight for tanking purposes and at times its almost impossible to move.. like in shatt or dalaran.

    By AA do you mean the multisampling?

    Sensing you computer's specs, WoW must have defaulter to max settings, including advanced shadows. Turn these off, and everything should be fine.

    Also, Windows XP and 6GB RAM ?

    Fef probably has it right, go into video settings and turn shadows off for a test.

    Shadows is definately worth a try... but don't forget the AA setings. Using 4x or higher has a serious impact on your system.

    I had issues running 2 copies on my new uber system... lagging like hell. I turned the AA to 2x and am now running 5 copies without difficulties.
