Minimum pc for 5 box

[Ualaa]

I was using a Q6600 system, quite a while back.
And regularly having follow break on epic ground mounts in battlegrounds.
Or having 280% speed flyers, break follow when flying anything other than a straight line...
That prompted my upgrade.

Could have probably played on lower settings.
My main is usually around 3/4's of the eye-candy on, and the slaves around 1/4.

I've never had an issue with it breaking follow on epic ground mounts (except when those massive Elekk asses get hung up on low flying airplanes and whatnot, but that's not a system performance issue...) My shaman are only level 60, so I can't comment on epic flyers. The system will have to do for now, though, since although it is 4 years old, I don't think I could convince the wife that I need an upgrade just yet. Like I said, I just used the default slider bar and set the master to High (one from best) and the slaves to Low (one from worst).

Anyone know if getting a dedicated sound card would fix the sound stuttering issue and maybe free up some breathing space for my processor?
