How good computer for 10 toons

[coglistings]

My system is very stable at 4.5GHz. What's this talk about RMA's? And why do you keep saying i5 when I clearly own an i7
on the 1156 chipset.

I read your post, you retaliated against my Newegg price comparison with a link to Micro Center's in-store price. You can't
order those 950's online from Micro Center... in-store pickup only. So... again, you have to live by one in order to take
advantage of that price.

No one is talking about Extreme Edition Intel processors, only you. My $300 processor is on par with the $1000 980X... look
around the internet at benchmarks. At this point, if you dropped $1000 for a 6 core processor to 10 box World of Warcraft
you're an idiot when people are clearly 10 boxing on old school [and new school] i7's for much less money.

I was reffering to bollwerk, not you, You have no post in this thread discussing your stock / oc'in or what you run. unsure while you are in a bind about this but oh well. Bos already answer my quote on it as well and I think the two of us agree with eachother on stability being the an important concept when OC'in, besides, I think we both got a chuckle over the exchange. Sorry if you missed the ride on that :P I do tend to blaze from one posters comments to anothers commenter's idea presented without specifically mentioning the transition, so I can accept that I have some responsibility for the confussion, but only as long as we can ingame "hug" eachother.

As to the instore pickup on the i7 950, yes you are correct, I did infact misread the add I posted in the forum, but it still remains that the two are near evenly priced to each other, and also from my own tests, hyperthreading may play an important role in a 10 boxing situation where it has been dismissed previously.

On the i7 extreme processor, I only brought it up since it is a reason to stick with the enthusiast chipsets and not go with the 1156, 1155 chipsets. I don't know if you five, ten, twenty box or whatnot, not going to search your posts to find out either. But if an intel extreme processor with the extra 2 cores helps you sucessfully perform 10 boxing with greater creature comforts, like view distance, particle density, etc, and saves you from purchasing an entirely new system, the I would say that it is a smart purchase. I do 10 box, but I preffer to do it on two different computers cause I do not enjoy the ingame experience when it is on one pc with no OC'in involved with any of the three i7 processors I have on hand. I am interested in seeing how an intel extreme processor will handle the load and test, which is why I bring it up. If you are on the 1155 chipset, you can't just pop in an extreme processor, you have to get a different mb as well.

If you or anyone else have personal experience 10 boxing with an extreme processor that you have on hand, then we should get together and run ideas with eachother as I would be interested in your observations. However, if we are just going to go back and forth over speculations, then lets take it to PM's

I will still hug you ingame, creating lvl 1 alt on your server right now! YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM MY HUGS BRAH!

oh wait, you are on Kiljaeden. Hmmm, though I hate LK, I think I can make an exception to make sure you get your hugs ingame

Well its always been my opinion that WoW is not CPU limited at all.

Of course if you start talking about 10 boxing on a single computer then might want a stonger processor.

I think money should be spent in the following order as follows as far as improving your fps and what not per $1 invested (just talking about wow if you use your computer for other things then priorites might be different) (i.e. a buck spent on more video ram will improve your fps a lot more then $1 spent on better monitor or cpu).

Video Ram
System Ram
Motherboard Chipset (DMA and Buss speeds) / HDD / SDD
Video GPU
CPU
NIC card if on board not good enough
Monitor
