New pc Build

I would consider 1G min on video card for multiboxing a minimum.

You're wrong. You can multibox with much lower quality cards provided you're willing to turn down the graphics settings.

The OP is dual boxing and doing it on a budget rather than spending thousands of dollars on pointless hardware increments to get some sort of epeen award. Your 'advice' isn't helping him.

Shortie, it's worth trying a few other sites to get the most for your money. I've often bought from Scan, Maplin, and PC World:

With Maplins and PCWorld you can walk in and buy over the counter saving delivery costs.

You could also try QuietPC they sometimes have cheap stuff, especially in the B-Grade section:

They've got one 1G card for under £60: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/pro...grade/zo-gt220

I don't think its pointless, I would think that not having to transfer 1/2G of textures from the hard drive (slowest part of the whole system) every so often would be more valuable then a lot of other things of a similar price. Even a slower gpu with 1G would seem to me to be better then a faster gpu with 1/2G. Even a slower cpu would hurt less then less ram on the graphic card I would think.

Minimizing Hard Drive access is the name of the game.

But ya he can multibox with 1/2G (I do on 3 of my computers but the upgrade to 1G video ram is the first thing Ill do to upgrade).
