i was starting to write a purposal for the newbie sticky forum which was going to go something like this:

New Multi-Boxers & Support

The Ultimate Guide to New Boxers Read Here First!

Now before you go and start posting questions that have been asked heaps of times consider reading through here and if the sticky cant solve your problem then feel free to ask the community.
I will link you to the wiki, the multiboxing wiki has had many endless hours devoted to it and show it some love and read there, because its the best guide you can possibly get for your situation.

#1 Software - Which software keypassing program is best for me and whats available?
There are a couple of keypassing programs available to the community, these software programs are 100% legal and are a good way of running multiple per machine, as a bonus they also communicate with multiple machines on your LAN.
The 3 popular ones include:-
- Keyclone
- Octopus
- Auto Hot Keys
These is a more compiled list of similar software: on the wiki

#2 Hardware - What do I need, what are my limitations and what can I do with what I have?
Fortunately, WoW is a pretty light game when it comes to needing the latest and greatest hardware. You can run two copies of WoW at acceptable framerates on a single core processor. Make sure if you are going to dual box on a single machine that you have AT LEAST a gig of ram and you take special notice to your graphics settings. No need to go crazy here - set them to the minimum first and see how playable it is for you. WoW will even run well enough on a laptop with an integrated graphics card - but don't expect to be able to dual box on a single machine this way as the video card will not be powerful enough on any laptop with a normal integrated graphics card. On a desktop system, dual cores are perfect as Windows will automatically assign each copy to a dedicated processor. Your choice of a video card is important. I highly suggest nVidia for their windows and linux support and certain features that ATI/AMD just do not offer. In short, if you have either single computers that each can run WoW on their own - OR a dual core system with at least a gig of ram, an nVidia 6 series (6600 GT, 6800, etc) video card then you have the basics of what it takes hardware wise to multibox. < QUOTE FROM XZIN>
Resources from the wiki include:
- Hardware
- Getting Started

#3 Class Selection - What should I choose for PVP/PVE, Whats the best for how many I box?

I then realised there was as much resources on the wiki as what i thought so i stopped it there. if we start moving all the stickies and incorperating them together into 1 big post it will be a good resource for new commers and hopefully stop alot of those small stupid questions.
