I heartily agree with Zenga. I occasionally have problems that are environmental (i.e. where I am in the game). And funnily enough, I have the same problems five-boxing on a laptop with a dreadful GPU as with my reasonably high-end desktop. First, if all your five characters are in Dalaran, then 4Gb of memory is an absolute minimum. Second, AV is (for reasons I admit I don't understand) prone to lagginess occasionally when boxing. The best advice I can give you there is to leave the BG and let others take your place so that you're not hampering fellow players. It doesn't happen massively often (about one time in thirty, for me), so there's no harm in being altruistic.

Finally, graphics. Yeah, invest in a good couple of cards if you want to box with all the settings at full with all chars. But, seriously, why would you? I set everything down to minimum and just deal with it. The joy of boxing far outweighs the dubious pleasure of seeing something a distance away!
