Nice machine you have there. But before anything, add more ram. If you will run 5 clients on 1 machine and want to 'enjoy' instances, you realy should get 6g+. That might mean you need a 64bit OS though. Otherwise get as much as your OS will use.

Also, I dont know if you know this, but i think someone put some stuff on your back. You might want to take a look at that.


Welcome btw
Well yeah ive thought about that but i dont wanna get Vista or a 64bit OS, but im gonna check about flashing bios if that would help reco the 4gb instead of 3gb
and what do you mean by "think someone put some stuff on your back. You might want to take a look at that."

And btw thanks for the welcome

Your machine is good, but if you wanna run 5 on one comp I STRONGLY recommend moving up to a quad-core instead of dual-core. Distribute the load a little better. Card should be fine, ram might be fine but if you can slap another gb or two in that would certainly help; also you may want to consider moving your copies to multiple hard drives if you have them, 1 wow seeking per drive is faster than 5 wows all fighting each other seeking the same thing; your HD only seeks so fast

4gb is enough to run anything nowadays, don't go past that if you don't have to. Though 4gb will indeed require Vista and/or a 64bit OS due to xp/32bit simply not recognizing/properly utilizing more than 3gb or so. Though yours IS DDR3 and I have no idea how big the performance difference is vs DDR2...DDR3's too new for me to know alot about yet lol
Well i actually wrote wrong on the ram its regular DDR2, and about the quad-core ive thought about that before due to i produce music also.
But atm im running 3 accounts on the same computer, max quality and i also run them on the exact *.exe file and havnt noticed any delay, latency problem or lack of something.

But like you said 5 wow on each drive should give a little boost, but then we are getting another "conflict" that the computer have to solve the seeking to 5 drives instead of 1. and the Raptor disk is 10k rpm so its faster then the other ones. and by only changing 1 char like c:/wow1 c:/wow2 etc etc doesnt make that big change

Well thanks for the tip and hoping to get more tips because gonna buy all things needed next week
