New Computer Question

[Apps]

I haven't seen the OP mention what resolution (s)he wants to run at.

You might be able to run 5 toons on medium in a city on a $750 box IF you're at something like 1280x1024 or lower resolution. But I'm not even sure that's feasible.

Nah, I fired up my old system last night, just cause I was curious. I took (5) level 2 shamans to Org. Set the video to medium, and before I even finished going through the front gate hallway, (2) clients crashed, and the other three were just standing there for about 35 mins...

then I plug pulled.

I retried it on LOWEST settings for all accounts. 1 crashed, and (4) were so choppy, i think I moved 8 yards in 20 mins. I gave the system a full hour to load all the graphics from players, and it was still frozen.

then I plug pulled, and thats when I remembered why I upgraded in the first place.

Ya forget "major cities" you can 5 box elsewhere though but its just to much to expect a mid level system to 5 box in org. Still that leaves a lot of the world available for that price range.

As stated Ram is dirt cheap right now.

Frankly unless you have deep pockets mutiboxing almost requires computer knowledge. Just read all the posts in this forum and you will get a lot of info's espically focused on multiboxing.

Its not hard to build your own systems but I can understand its dauting at first. Maybe get some old computers people is tossing out and tear them down and build them up against to get a feel for what you need to do without taking a chanch on destroying your main system. Ya its easy enough to make a simple error and blow a card or board thats for sure.

Don't they have computer repair corses somewhere? Its just to handy to know how to fix computers considering how dependant everyone is on them now days.

Computer within my specifications found.

I ended up asking a guildie and they did some research and found a prebuilt machine for me.

Thank you all for your help and I understand your urging for me to build it myself but its not for me.

When I get a link to the computer I'll post it, just about to hit the bed and wanted a quick post.

Good luck Smithnweson! Hope all works well for you.
