Its not very up to date anymore actually, let me dig up the specs;

Gfx: ASUS X850 PRO PCI-E 256M GDDR3 VIVO
CPU: MD ATHLON 64 4000+ S939 BOX SAN DIEGO
Motherboard: MSI S939 NF4 ULTRA SLI PCIE GLAN SATA2 R
memory: 4 x KINGSTON KVR400X64C3AK2/1G

On this I run my wow instances like the following:
2 top windows = 840x420
1 bottom window = 1680x630

Here's an old screenshot before I tweaked the resolutions to what I have today. I looks the same, but the aspects have been fixed so minimap is round in the top windows etc.


All I care about is results, therefore I have turned every imaginable graphics setting down to the lowest possible and disabled sound on the two top ones. For me, this works fine. Other propably cringe just by thinking about playing like that. This is propably why I get resonable okay fps on such an old machine. But you are right, once I engage in combat fps drops to around 20 fps. I still think that is okay though to be honest, as long as I can move around as I want etc. My point is, If I can run 3 instances in playable fps, some of you guys should be able to run 4 maybe even 5 pretty smooth?
