Running off a portable HD
I just wanted to share this:
My computer is having serious issues running 5 WoW so I tried running 2 on my computer and 3 on my girlfriend's computer. I wanted to leave no evidenceso I tried running them right off a WD portable HD.
Performance on those clients were great.
PVE and PVP teams on Lightninghoof-US (lvl 70+)
I run my 4 slave clients on an external usb WD mybook 500g drive and they run great, granted its at 15fps until they are switched to the main screen which is set to 60fps but I haven't felt a need to get a SSD.
Next team: 60 Dk/Retsx4
Rig: Q6600 8g ram Win 7 Pro 64bit, Nvidia 8800/Matrox triplehead2go (3 28" 1080p LCD's at 5040x1000 res),Logitech G13/G9, ISboxer/Jamba
SSD is easily the second best upgrade after RAM.

Ram
SSD
CPU
GPU
And then for each item make absolutely sure I am getting the most performance before investigating other options. Even now with my ATI 4850 cards don't push above 60%.
