Input from those running multiple accounts on one machine.

With the lowest of Low settings (there is a tick in the video options to switch of ???) I can now run a 5 boxing team reasonably fast even with my current setup

No clutter on the ground, which even has the advantages of seeing every loot-able item better, and the squirrels for easy killing them

Good stuff!

I bought my 4th account last night and was able to get it up and running on the lowest of the low settings as well. Now you have me wanting to add the 5th and final account.

I have 5 but was getting prepared to resign myself to just using 4 last night... i can run around fine with 5 (15-20fps, feels reasonably OK) but when I attempt to go into combat, my machine shits the bed. I ran at an invasion with 5 mobs and screen locked, was dead when it came back up. And really, if I cant do rift play etc then whats the point?

I havent tried dropping to the LOWEST LOWEST though. I wonder what it looks like. I will have to try it tonight =P

Have you done this yet?

If not, make the change. You'll see a massive difference. I was not able to run more than 4 accounts without major lag, 10fps and so on. I changed one file and now I can get 30fps on all 5. No other changes, hardware, settings needed. Click the link above and try it to see if it works.

The other thing I noticed a couple nights ago, is that after the loader exits and the client starts up, it leaves an instance of rifterrorhandler.exe running for each client you start.

This process loads the CPU and caused a lot of slowness on my PC.
After starting all the clients up, make sure you kill the rifterrorhandler.exe process for each client.

aye: cores allocated in ISB : 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3+4 (capped to 20 FPS/10FPS)

AND changed the files as soon as I read about it (which was obsolete because ISB handles this now for me )

If I remember correctly, the Rampage II Extremes are around the same price as the P6X58D-E, and I would recommend the P6X58D Mobos. This one has USB 3.0 and 2x 6GB/s SATA connections (which makes a difference if you are going to use an SSD). It also has 3-way SLI, if you ever lose your mind and buy 3 vid cards.
