i bought 8gigs @ 349.95 (4x2g moduals for my mac pro 8-core early 2008 model)
and 4gig (for my mbpro early 2008 trackpad model) @ 89.95

from OWC (www.macsales.com)

they shipped fast, was packaged well, and came with very good directions as to why the mac pro memory riser boards had to be filled in a specific order for maximum speed.

I ended up ordering another 8gb from OWC, got it today. Hopefully 12gb total ram will solve my ShatLag problem

I tried out using Spaces as well, and it makes a simply huge difference in frame rate on my main account as it's now the only instance visible most of the time. Apparently the OS is smart about not using video card resources for the windows that aren't visible. I'm back to 60fps and loving it. I highly recommend hiding your clones in their own Space, it really helps a ton.

I just started last night on my Dual G5 with 2GB of ram. Still only level 6 with my 3 dudes but had a ton of fun with no lag issues, yet. I haven't been past Brill though so I will see how bad it gets.

Are you skipping all drop quests? I did a couple that were not too bad but needed to click to loot in each windw of course. Reading the boards here some people skip them and some people don't. I guess if I moved the ALTs onto another desk I wouldn't have a choice.

This whole thread has been great for me - the WASD trick was perfect and I would have never thought of it.

Let me point out that you might also use the three iMacs just fine by running main on one, two copies on the other two and use the Mac Synergy to broadcast and Clonekey to pick it up. I don't know if anyone has tried a setup like that, I use one account per machine, but the Mac Synergy works great. RAM is a big issue though, so make sure you have plenty.
