I just went back to EQ last week and fired up 6 accounts. Setting up isboxer is a breeze because there is less features to integrate (no jamba etc). I revived my Xkeys 64 usb and it is really handy for eq. Make good use of your action target groups so you can split commands out to your healer and dps. I give the cleric 6 target keys and have the heals in a column next to the targets. Then I use the 1 through = keys as pass to all and run every thing from the tank after I pull. I use a couple keys for bard songs and you can see the cast bar on the bard to see if the song has stopped.

Use dedicated follow key and a macro/social like this:
/target leader
pause 5
/follow

Without the pause they won't follow because the target doesn't switch fast enough.

Have fun with you decision either way.
I set up a couple triial accounts last night, resubbed toIS and DL'd ISboxer yesterday. Was trying to get everything sorted out and working smoothely. Did ok up until the mouse. The mouse on the alt windows when brought to the main screen tracks to the right and below where the cursor is.... so I'm kind of stuck w/ that. After that, then I'll have to learn 'how to' EQ Macro....and of course how to play the game

But 2 instances seem hardly a drag on my system at all. I'm probably going to have to hook up my second monitor and do it that way instead of everyone windowed down.
