I've recently started 5 boxing on my lappie and not going to badly at the moment, although cities take a good 20secs or so before they smooth out. My toons are only 20ish though so I have not experienced Outlands which are supposely more taxing to the system.
My specs are:
Core2duo 7400 (2.2GHz)
2GB Ram
512MB 7950GTX
I set the main to run off core1 in keyclone and the remainder to run off core2. MAXFPS is 45 and MAXFPSBK is 15. The majority of the time, all of the clients run at these max lvls. Graphics settings are basically medium qualilty.
Two main problems I find with my system. Occasionally I will get an insane slowdown which sometimes crashes WoW. Running Taskmanager, it tends to show bugger all free physical memory and a large chunk in the PF so I'm assuming I am out of RAM and the program is struggling with the HDD instead. I really want to grab an extra 2GB as a result.
My other problem is the display. 17" 1920 x 1200. Its generally an awesome LCD, but I run my main as a large full sized window on the left with 4 alts tiled vertically down the right side. This is the only way to make the main big enough to play. If I want to do anything with the alts I have to PiP which gets tedious. I have tried running a second SRT monitor at 1600X1200, but can't get keyclone maximiser to scale it properly, so I've given up and just run off the lappie screen. Saying that, the vid card still had absolutely no probs pushing around the extra pixels on that screen, so I still hold that the RAM is whats holding me back with my setup for now.
