Is it worth having 5 multibox

[Sparta47]

Ok i started with 2 boxing and decided to try a 3rd....having 3 multiboxing just made it hundred times better.
Now i really want to do some dungeons aswell but as im greedy i want all the loot for myself and make precious gold

With 3 accounts it runs fine, but enter stormwind during busy times and its a slideshow
With 5 accounts i just dont know what would happen, but the temptation to go to 5 is killing me....Dont want to lower the graphs to much or the game will just look but ugly and ruin it.

ive heard people say u need quad core to multibox or 2 computers (dont have) to 5 box, so heres my specs, tell me if it can be done

Windows 7 x64
Intel core 2 duo E8400 3.0ghz
Corsair 2gb ram DDR2 (2x1gb) (im thinking this is what will stop me from pulling it off)
DFI Lanparty DK-T2RS
ATI Radeon HD 4890

So what do you think, am i going way over my head on this one

Can't really advise you on the hardware part. Some ram is indeed a must have, 1gig for each client takes the problems away i guess.

But "is it worth it" has been asked 10000 times.

Is buying a 1 million car worth it? Some think it is, some don't. It's Personal opinion. With a big P.

my opinion: yes, go for it.

Up your RAM to 6GB. No point running a 64-bit OS with <4GB of RAM.

I did have 4gb couple months ago but my motherboard didnt like 2 of them so now i have 2 left....trying to get more but the price of RAM right now is annoying.

Im running 3 from 1 install folder.
Is it best to create 5 folders of the game or 5 folders on different harddrives
or just leave as is

I will be running the game on 1 monitor, samsung 24" syncmaster.
Using keyclone in maximizer have 2 screens for slaves on the right, i can just about make out what im doing when creating there macros and spells what not...is there a way to switch around mid game..like screen 2 goes to screen 1 so i can sort there stuff out then flip back to my main then the same for 3rd, 4th, 5th

Having 4 on the right side i may not be able to do anything with them my eyes will bleed

I have the same monitor as you.

Keyclone has an option to bring slaves to the "main" window. In my case I have it setup to use the F8 - F12 keys to move between main and the different slaves on the big window.

I think new keyclone versions already come with preconfigured screenmaps. I did my screenmap before keyclone had that feature and I still use my original screenmap

[Sparta47]

How do you manage to bring slaves to the main window
Does this increase the size of each slave screen for me to mess about with the spells etc

So far i have set 4 screens to the left with keyclone...Cant read a thing there to small

Grab ISboxer. The windows layout wizard will have your windows the way you want them in a matter of minutes. Get the free trial see if you like it.

My computer isn't a powerhouse either and I run a team of 5 just fine. Only have 1 duo core processor 2.6mhz each, 6 gigs of memory, and 1 gig video card.

You need some more memory flat out. You can grab 6 gigs for like 45$ from Frye's, Newegg, many places. Memory is cheap these days...

Go 5. Though it's better with a 64-bit OS and 8gigs ram plus quad-core, I've heard people running it on duo-cores with 6gigs of RAM.

Go 5 and you'll never look back. :-)

Well i went out and bought couple gigs more ram £45 for 2gb of DDR2

So 4gbs now i really hope this makes it alot better

Managed to get the screen switching on keyclone maximizer working

Is there a better way to make the train smaller.. Always get 1 who gets stuck when going round corners
i have 1 guy behind me on follow then guy behind on follow to that guy etc but it would be better if i could get them more close together and move at the exact same time as me. also fanning out would be great
Ive seen this done on my server, they make it more coordinated with 5 guys, only none of them talk when i ask them (yes im asking the right one )




EDIT: oh no, i cant upgrade the 5th account Error 203
Just gone and emailed them

You need to learn how to drive like an 18 wheeler.

There is a limit as to how many trials you can create each month [or 30 days or whatever the time frame is]. Let us know if they lift that limit for you after e-mailing them, I'd at least like to know.
