hi Taipan,








  1. no real recommended cpu settings. personally, i'd let the OS figure it out... but i could be wrong. i don't have a quad. personally, i could easily imagine multiple hard drives to improve performance
  2. i believe keyclone's cpu affinity was implemented before wow had any such capability. if your goal would be to assign each wow to a different core (assuming 4 wows).. then you would need multiple wow directories with a different config.wtf in each (in order to keep the cpu affinity mask settings correct between clients). in that case, setting keyclone to 'NONE' would insure it wouldn't interfere with wow's cpu setting
Gosh, your CS is faster every day Sir ... 8)

Drive wise, all 5 directories are on a Raptor 10,000rpm and doesn't seem to be a bottleneck once the zone is loaded.

My question was more specifically around the affinities for a Quad as this seems to be the current FOTM for starting/upgrading software Mboxers using your apps.

How to optimize 4 cores for 5 clients isn't obvious (ie. one core at least will need to handle two clients, if we start on a 1to1 basis), especially since WoW "untouched" will usually only allocate 2 cores -and leave 2 cores on Idle-, as I verified by myself when I began playing with my Quad setup and did the CTRL + ALT + DEL thingie :cursing:
