I don't know too much about hardware and stuff :-). Currently I'm dualboxing RK/Hunter on one laptop, both clients run a little bit slower then they would if they ran on 1 pc.
I'm not sure if you can run 5 lotro clients good enough on 1 killer pc though, it takes a lot of memory.
Make sure to get a 64bit OS to make use of your ram. I think 6 or 8 gb ram will help you a bit more running those 5 instances at a time.
I run 6 instances of LoTRO on my PC. I'm at work right now so I forget the exact specs, it is something like:
64 bit Windows 7 Professional
i7-920
12gigs DDR3 ram
2x NVIDIA GTX 285 (not in SLI, I have each one running a monitor)
Intel SSD (I have 6 installs of LoTRO on this one drive, could never get it to run multiple instances off one install)
I have one instance running on one monitor, I left the graphic settings at the normal defaults. The other 5 are running on the second monitor, and I turned the settings down to low. I used IS to spread out the processor cores among the 6 instances, I forget the exact distribution.
Everything loads very fast off the SSD, I use the mouse broadcasting in IS to click the login button for all 6 characters at once and they all load in right away at the same time. Same thing for zoneing into instances and buildings, it only takes a couple seconds for everyone to zone.
I'll check the performance monitor on my G15 keyboard when I'm playing tonight and let you know the usage %s it shows for CPU and RAM, that might give you an idea of what to get for a new computer.
I was around 30% CPU, and 55% RAM usage while playing tonight.

I'm at work right now, but when I get home tonight I'll take a look at my setup in ISBoxer and post my settings, that might help point you in the right direction.WOW just WOW!

Did you get everything working Trushot? I had a few snags about a month ago when I tried to launch multiple instances of LotRO, but I was able to get everything working without too much of a hassle. I should have some time this evening to work with you if you still need help. I am in the Central Standard Timezone and will be available around 4pm CST.
no still a no go for me ... either i have the wrong build of innnerspace or i have the TDM and did not know i had it ( i do not think i do but dont know how to check )
i have v1.09 build 5124 development patch download checked of innerspace
the only thing i can think of is the turbine download manager ... I do not think i have the turbine download manager but how do i check to see and or turn it off if i do ?
i feel like if i could just get the WIZARD luanch to work properly and get the windows all up and running i could do all the hotkeying stuff easily enough
Not playing anything except Skyrim at the moment until Legion is released
What server are you on Trushot?
