Setting up a separate X server might allow the different wine instances to run different resolutions. For this to be playable (at least as far as I've been thinking) I'd want the main window to be a much higher resolution than the secondary ones. It's tough on my eyes to play with them all at 800x600 on the 1680x1050 desktop.

That being said, if I could run the one client on my 22" LCD and offload the other 4 clients to the CRT that's sitting next to it (also 22", 1600x1200 native resolution) that's currently unused, I could probably solve the problem. Also, 4 800x600 clients would fit perfectly with no unused real estate.

Then, all that would remain would be to find some sort of key broadcasting solution for the other 4 clients.

Agreed, wholeheartedly. I'm really starting to see some issues and I'm having trouble pinning them down. At this point I'm ready to go to CompUSA and pick up:

plug a new graphics board into it and go. Oh, and before anyone frowns on buying an off the shelf machine (myself included) I did some research... I can't build that machine for that money. Pricing similar components on newegg put me several hundred over that price, without considering a number of needed items. I also found a forum post where someone had bought that exact machine and stated that it came with a 400W power supply, which would probably work with a graphics card upgrade. I'm wondering though how the 8500 would fare for WoW... the only benchmarks I can find complain about how it stinks for modern games. With WoW being a couple of years old, it may work ok. The 3D mark scores put it a little above the card I have now (x1600).
