how to start off

[Xraptorx]

Hey Guys

I figured I will start again boxing. I just installed WOW on parallels (win 7 running on my mac quad cord i7). I need to test and see if the mac and the video is powerful enough to run windows and 5 instances of wow if so, great. If not, I will go buy a pc

Anyway, I have one install of wow now. How do I get the other installs of wow needed for 5 boxing? I figure I will use ISboxer as the software to control, but not sure how how to do the installs for WOW and what is the best way of going about that

You only need one WoW install, and 5 WoW accounts. Your quad i7 should work fine.

Just head over to the ISBoxer Quick Start page!

You can run as many wow clients as you want, off of the one install.
You will still need one wow client, per account (for a separate log-in, for each).
But only physically install the game once.

You can get trial accounts from the wow account management page.
Send yourself RAF invites, and use the emailed codes to create accounts.
Until you upgrade them to retail versions, they're limited.
I think to level 10, and they cannot use the mail or whisper to anyone who doesn't have them on their friends list already.

Still, heading to Stormwind (if alliance) or Ogrimmar (if horde), will be your system stress test.
Only a 25-man raid, or a 40-man battleground will approach the system stress; everything else will be far smoother.
