I'm currently trying to multi-box 5 WoW accounts. I have a Q6600, 8GB, 8800GTX running Vista x64. I'm running my main client in windowed mode @ 1280x800 on a 30" LCD and the slave accounts using maximizer on a second 21" LCD @ 840x525 (I've tried 800x600 as well). I should note that I run the 1280x800 maximized with the taskbar visible, but I have experimented with no border and non-windowed mode as well.

After reading a little in this forum I thought this system would handle it. It isn't. I'm getting frame rates in the teens in the Orc starting area. I've played WoW for a couple months now with the same system with all video settings max out (except for resolution) and I've never really noticed any performance issue except maybe a few hiccups in Shatt when things are busy. Thinking it might improve the situation I dropped in another video card in my system (8800GT) and attached the 2nd monitor to that card. Much to my surprise it really didn't improve the situation.

I feel like this system should be able to handle 5 simultaneous copies of the game running, but I can't get a decent frame rate. I would want at least 60 fps on my main.

I'm going to nuke my OS in the next day just to be sure there isn't any driver issues lingering around. I really feel like I'm messing something, perhaps some secret video setting lurking in an ini file somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I really like the idea of trying to pull this off with a single system and two monitors versus multiple computers. Thanks!
