Set up of the gods?

I see lots of people suggesting Raptors. You do know that the newest and biggest HDDs(1TB) with the densest platters surprass them in pretty much every case, do you?

ORLY? Wanna be more specific or do you feel safe with that generalization?

Sure, if your talkin about single task sequential reads. But that's nothing more than a benchmark score, itis not what happens in the real world where a raptor performs far and above with superior multitasking ability.

I definitely wouldn't get that $13k keyboard, one coffee spill and say goodbye. I spill shit all over keyboard all the time (thanks porn).

Seriously just spit water on my work comp for that one. Porn FTW.

Now I'm worried - is everyone saying that 2gigs of RAM won't be enough to run 5 WoW's - considering 4 of them will be in cut down boxes sizes with only low graphics set.... ????

2gb of ram should be fine.... i've 5-boxed before (not very efficiently) and it worked fine...

just set all 4 slaves to lowest resolution and settings, turn of sound on them, set max fps to about 10, and get your iPod hooked up to one of those iHome stereos (so you can listen to music )

BTW: this is what i'm workin with

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+,  MMX,  3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz    
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 400 GB    
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

So, a third gig would help this would it? I could get that added in to the system I guess.

3GB is really the minimum for 5-boxing on one computer if you ever want to visit a city with all 5 at the same time and be able to move.

Bumped the order up from 2gig to 4gig just then. Picking it up 4pm tomorrow.

Thanks for the tech input all.

OP - sorry to hijack the thread a little.

Yes you filthy hijack monster!

Lulz, I have been staying with my Brother for two days and we set up a basic touch screen that just made his mage cast a spell. He has a bizzare set up with USB but he reckons he could get it to go faster by using something other than USB.

Put it this way, he tapped the touch screen, Mage cast fire spell, he touched it again to run forward and the mage just looked at him like "wtf you want now?" It had a lag of at least 1.5seconds on everything after the first command. My bro claims that this is down to the bloated software and that he would build something from the ground up that was purely for WoW. I'm still not convinced but I've seen him make a remote control for about 12 things in one (speakers, DVD, TV etc) and it works with no lag at all.

I'm hoping that I could eventually get a real time, interactive interface that rotates, changes dependant on what you're doing with your characters. I.E: Hold the left hand corner and click a character to heal instantly etc.
