    * Caveat: if you're a fan of using VideoFX feeds to monitor bits of your alts on your main, dual PCs won't support showing you feeds from clients on the second PC on your main PC. You also see a pretty dramatic divergence in cursor position when you turn on mouse repeater depending on your setup, moreso than you do on a single PC. Not ISBoxer's fault to be sure but it's something to keep in mind. That said, it would definitely cut down (potentially) on expense, though if your "cheap" second PC is *too* cheap, you're just asking for headaches.

    I do agree that you don't need 64GB of RAM or a 1080Ti or a 12-core CPU to 5-box. You're gonna suffer in massively overcrowded areas but then I don't know anyone that *doesn't* see a performance hit in those areas. You could always test it out on the highest-pop server's most overcrowded faction and see how it does.

    Like I asked in the other thread: do you use slot-swap macros (with renderscale settings, etc.) to help out with performance? You might be surprised at how much you can gain through the creative use of detail settings.

    I don't even know what are swap-slot macros. Basically I don't use videofx ever, since i basically have usually from 40-80 keybinds and I bind specific heals etc. I only set the settings in wow on lowest, I use swap on demand (for more fluid swaps) and my main screen is usually on 50fps and background from 14-22 fps.

    I didn't mess around with more complex options as I like to keep it simpler as possible for fluidity. I am also open for any tips.

    edit* I use main on my screen and usually all my other toons are on my tv which is usually shut down so i don't have anyhting cramped up on main screen so i can do things properly.
