Back before when i was playing if i ever played more then 1 per pc it was told to have muti wow folders
The solid state drives seem to be alot smaller and the wow itself is close to 30 gigs now do yall still use 5-10 wow folders or have you switched to runing all from the same folder?
Your choice of multiboxing software is dependant on how many WoW folders you'll need. If you plan on using anything current
like ISBoxer or HotKeyNet you won't have to worry about symlinking or having multiple folders. I would also recommend at
least a 64GB SSD for WoW since some folks who had smaller drives had problems with large patches and their drives
running out of space during the actual process of patching.

Now adays what is better? and what motherboard would you recommend now adays to pair it with.
I Am not worried about spending a few more bucks to build a newer system to last a year or so.
There are 1366 i7's and 1156 i7's and i5's, all of which are the older generation. The new i7/i5 line up runs off of the 1155
chipset [AKA P67 or soon to be Z68.] I chose the i7 2600K myself because I like the hyper-threading for other applications
that I use. However, its little brother, the i5 2500K, does not have hyper-threading. Both of those processors come in K and
non-K formats -- K meaning it has an unlocked multiplier and can be very easily overclocked (if that is your thing.) K's are
more expensive but will have a better resale value later down the road if you want or are forced to sell your machine.
