Zero(?) City Lag - 5 Clients One PC - Your Specs?

[Ualaa]

My games run marginally better with all four physical cores assigned to each of my five warcraft clients, but none of the logical cores assigned to any of the games. That is, better than having all four physical and all four logical cores assigned to all games. The difference wasn't much, but consistently a few FPS.

I've read some horror stories about driver issues with ATI stuff on new cards so I'm not real keen to explore that.

I have a 27 inch iMac with 2.8 ghz i5 and 12 GB DDR3. I get lag on the initial load but after that cities run fine. I have my main on medium settings and poor/fair on my boxes

is my system all my clones and main (5 wows) run on low settings and i can not even get in org (ok am on a full server now) without my pc dieing on me i used to beable to use fraps and now i find it hard to even play in AV i know its the ram letting me down as am running at 98% 80% of the time and i can see its pageing on the HDD, now am looking for a update as well. but am not getting the DDR2 ram i got now it costs more then 8gb ddr3 and i feel am going to need more the 8gb anyway i run about 30fps on all windows.

am not sure if to go down the I5 road or the amdx6 road av allways love and used AMD (cheepo) and i know i can get a amd faster then the i5/i7 road.

There was a thread which linked tests of Intel vs AMD specifically for Cataclysm.
The Intel processors were far superior, it wasn't even close.
Even relatively lower end Intel processors had better benchmarks than the top AMD processors.

I thought the Sandy Bridges were pulled back?

up to 5% boards affected, as I want something now.. I'm not going to buy a first generation i7 just because of it.

Aha. Sounds sweet. Lets just hope nothing comes shipped wrong.
