Trying to run multiple WoW accounts

AA = Anti Aliasing
Go for Windows 7, will also improve FPS!

Thats what i thought but there isnt an anti aliasing option so thats why i was asking if it was the multisampling cause thats the only video option with 2x,4x,8x.... but yah ive been really considering Win7.. I just didnt want to accept the fact that i had to turn stuff down with how much i put into this machine.... heh =/

Also a small side note, windows xp home won't recognise all that ram you've got. Make sure you download windows 7 64bit if you end up pursuing that route.

AA = anti-aliasing

Are you loading wow 2x from the same folder or do you have 2 separate folders for each account?

Try copy/paste the whole wow folder and load the 2nd account from the 2nd folder.

Also shadows, they hurtses us.

I was running both from the same folder yes. I didn't know that could cause that. Mainly cause i was able to run 5 EQ accounts from one game folder, but I will try this as well. Thanks again

You're correct, it's not really called AA in wow... but I am talking about the multisampling option in wow.

I run 5 wow's from 1 directory, there's no performance gain to run it from different directories.

Try disabling your SLI from your display settings. No snap, im not kidding.

How did you get on with this?

I haven't seen anyone mention memory yet.

With your video card (1792Mb) and a 32 bit os, you're going to have very little usable system memory available.

Probably around 1.5GB of the 6GB you have installed!

I would therefore put good money on your performance being entirely constrained by memory rather than by your graphics settings.

I had first-hand experience of this when Dell helpfully sold me an XPS730 with 2x1GB video cards, 4GB installed memory and a 32 bit os... it was a complete waste of time until I installed Vista 64.

Same here.. how to upgrade to 64 bit? Buy, install and play? ...or do i need to change drivers, progs etc?

...ty in advance for answer on noob questions :P

And tbh its stupid to sell a computer with 4GB +graphic cards when it "dosent work"
