Based on helpful advice from several people, i ordered a 60gb ssd and 4 more gb of ram.

I will also be chnaging the os from xp32 pro to win7 64 bit ultimate when the ssd finally gets to my house.

I have several questions:

1. I currently run all five toons from one installation of wow. I will be installing the os and wow (only) on the ssd. Is there any reason to run two installations of wow when i only have one small ssd?

2. My video card is dx11 capable but i use dx9 since i currently have xp. Are there any problems running dx11 when using isboxer?

3. Are there any issues running isboxer under windows 7?

4. I have used xp for years. Never bothered with vista because of all the horrible reviews. For someone upgrading to win7 from xp, are there any issues i should know about in advance with respect to running warcraft?

Thanks!
1, Not if you're using ISBoxer, as Ugh said - ISboxer sets up virtual configs for each session of WoW - works really well.

2. Nope, in fact the current beta of ISboxer has built in support for DX11 - I get a few more FPS running it in DX11 mode compared to DX9.

3. Nope, I'm running it under Win 7 Pro 64-bit and it's fine.

4. MS finally got their shit together for Win 7 - although arguably not much under the hood was changed from Vista, the final product was far more polished. Moving up from XP isn't a huge change as far as the user interface goes, some things have moved, but overall it should feel familiar. There are no issues for running WoW under Win 7 as far as I know...

Cheers,
