Thanks for all the replies.. I tell you what... multiboxing is SOOO much more fun. Even lvl1 is enjoyable.

I about fell out of my chair when our guild master asked me to repost the dmg meters. Now... i've got a similar post on my guilds forums in which people are asking me for Fraps vids and whatnot. SO I kindly pointed them to some of the more accomplished folk on these forums

As for my rig... your almost gonna laugh...

Abit IB9 Motherboard
e4300 Core2 Duo Processor (1.8ghz) OC'd to 2.4Ghz
2gb of Kingston 8500 HyperX ram
BFG 8800 GTS 512 OC
4x250gb Maxtor Hard Drives in a Striped Raid array... via a 3ware 7506 Card. (Very fast)

22" Samsung LCD & 19"Envision CRT.

Oh.. and yes.. Windows XP (didn't know Vista was an option)

My trick (if it's a trick)... is that when WoW is minimized.. it takes almost 0 resources.. but still responds well to key strokes So i leave the 4 windows minimized.. have 1 window up... and adjust my camera view distance (ini file) far enough out to see the others following me. I am using 1 EXE / 1 installation as opposed to installing it into different directories... I have yet to run into any problems. I haven't tried or needed to have all 5 windows up at once.. but I reckon i could manage.

Anyway... I haven't been very avid about becoming good at this yet since I seem to be getting consumed in guild stuff with my recent upgrade to CL status... (Too many incompetent warlocks who like big numbers SOO much.. the pull aggro to see how much a boss can hit them for).

I am a programmer by profession and yet have had 0 time to contribute a lick of code to the game... i feel ashamed. But for now.. i'm enjoying it... and waiting for life to allow more time to pursue the 5 box life.

p.s. I'm married... and she just doesn't get WoW... but she likes listening to Vent.
