    Default Comp setup advice for 5 boxing

    First of alll awesome site! Have picked up a ton of knowledge already and am so stoked to get into multiboxing.

    I'm wondering if you guys think this setup I want to use will adequately run 5 instances of wow, the main being on one screen and the 4 others on the latter.

    this pc:
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16883107505
    and this card:
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130286

    also need a compatible memory recommendation

    with 2 22" Acer monitors

    Any and all recomendations are welcome as I've seen that many of you are far more computer savvy than myself. I'm nervous about whether its a setup than can be upgraded down the line, I'm the type of guy that likes to have the best but since I dont know what the best is and how to get the best deal I'm taking it easy until I get my feet wet.

    I'm not trying to go bargain basement with this but I also dont want to go nuts.

    Cheap bastards are skimping on the RAM. You can order yourself 4GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227252
    Relatively cheap, faster and better.

    Plus you can sell that crap RAM on ebay, or upgrade an older box :-)

    4 GB is a must have - i think. i'm running 5x wow on a

    - Q6600@3,2Ghz
    - 8800 GTS 512mb
    - 4 GB / 800Mhz - Vista 64

    4x wow installed on one HDD with minimum addons and 640x512 resolution @19" - no sound, low gfx settings and in keyclone FPS capped by 30
    1x wow installed on another HDD, normal addons, 1920x1200 res @24" sound and good gfx settings.

    it works very well =)
    3-3,5 GB in use with all this wow windows open
    sorry 4 my bad english =(

    Wilbur, do you think that the RAM you listed is better than http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098 ?

    Yours = 4-5-4-18 timing
    Mine = 5-5-5-18 timing (but I read that people were easily overclocking to 4-4-4-12 without any problems).

    Mine is like $10 more, but no rebates. It's the last component I need to buy for my quad core system.

    Personally, I don't rate G.Skill.

    I usually stick to Corsair, Kingston and OCZ. They handle overclocking pretty well and from my experience they are less likely to die from having a bit more voltage pumped into them ;-)

    Yeah, G.skill is "fairly" new to the market for RAM, but I've heard a lot of good things about them lately. Their RAM has won several awards for customer satisfaction on Newegg and the particular one I linked has many reviews of people overclocking it without any problems. I think I'm going to stick with the G.Skill partly because it has some proven testimonials on OCing, and partly because it has no rebate (I have 5 other rebates on my other parts lol).
