Long time lurker here. The tips from this forum have been very helpful and I've been happily dual-boxing for about 6 months.

However, today I have a few simple questions:

With a dual monitor setup, does having WoW on both screens "stress out" the graphics card?

Is it "safer" to keep WoW on one screen and use the second screen for web browser/vent/etc.

I know these are fuzzy concepts but I'm kinda scared and this is why ...

I run a dual monitor setup with two 21.5 inch LCDs. Main on the left screen, alt on the right screen. Beautiful Ultra settings and Max resolution on both. Was getting a solid 60/30 fps on the main/alt everywhere but the most crowded areas in Dalaran ...

And then my computer blew up. It was the RAM but the whole experience freaked me out.

I would like to continue dual-boxing while keeping my computer in one piece. Any suggestions are welcome. I hope this incident was just a fluke but if you think what I'm doing is putting undue stress on the computer, please let me know.
