    Default Running WoW x4, question

    First my specs:

    Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
    NVIDIA GeGorce 7300 SE/7200 GS
    1024 RAM

    I do realise this is a bit low to run WoW 4 times, But is it possible to do so?

    And i read that i have to copy the WoW folder x4. Can't you just open up WoW 4 times?

    Thanks in advance!

    Suicidal. I'd say you need to do some fairly hefty upgrading. Look around for the recommended specs.

    Re-read it, you don't have to, people do this because they like to keep UI's, Macros and Settings cleaner. You'll see a slight boost in load times if you run them all from the same folder as they are using shared resources.

    All I can suggest is getting trial accounts and try it out. We see this question everyday

    Well I guess I can try out with WoW x2 first then :P Already have a 70 shaman so I think I will just level up 2 now and add the 3rd one later.

    Thanks for the quick replies

    On my previous machine:

    Intel P4E 3.0 GHz
    1GB DDR PC3200 DRAM
    ATI x800 128MB Video Card

    I was only able to run 2 copies efficiently. I could run 3, but my frame rates would drop considerably low on all copies, and would hard lock my computer when flying into Org on the gryphon on all 3 copies.

    All 3 of those are well below what I'd consider minimum specs for halfway-playable 4x WoW. First, the 7300/7200 series of videocards really aren't made for gaming at all. The 8600GT/7600GT area is about the lowest I'd even consider an attempt at quad-boxing with. Two 8600GT's may be able to power two monitors well enough for 4x at playable rates if the rest of the system can support it. The Core 2 architecture blows away the previous Pentiums, and although some may run the higher-end Pentium D chips for dual-boxing, I wouldn't consider it fun to try for 4. Also, 1024MB of memory is tiny. DDR2 memory is cheap, so get a 2x1GB pair for around $45.

    Currently playing:
    Akama [Empire of Orlando]
    Zandantilus - 85 Shaman, Teebow - 85 Paladin, Kodex - 85 Rogue.

    Definitely going to 4-box Diablo 3 after testing the beta for how well this would work.
