Hi there! I didn't know if this should be in the newbie forum, or the hardware forum. If the newbie forum is the wrong spot, feel free to move this thread, mods.

I'm heavily considering beginning to multibox WoW, as single player has little appeal left and i'll be able to have a new challenge as well as leveling up some otherwise painful-to-level classes more easily (priest, especially). I've looked over the hardware recommendations, but I must confess that I'm *not* up-to-date on current hardware. So, here's the system i'm considering buying.

Yes, it's Dell. Yes, I agree that building my own computer up from scratch would be better. It would also have the side-effect of driving me insane, so I'm not going down that route. I'd like to 4-box with the option to expand to 5 at some point. Mainly, I want to level as my own group and get to 70. After that, I can raid individually or as a multibox to get gear. This machine looks to me to have what folks say you need:

4 gigs of ram
nVidia GeForce 8800GT512MB
Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core

Am I missing something, though? I'd hate to buy this computer and have it not perform.

Should I upgrade to the dual nVidia cards for extra graphics power? I do have a 2nd monitor, so i'd like to put my main on my nicer monitor and the 3 others on my old 17" CRT monitor.

Is the processor powerful enough? Do I need to upgrade the hard drive?

Any input that experienced multiboxers would have is welcome. Right now i'm playing on a Mac mini, and getting under 10 fps (and have been since long before BC came out, hehe). So, I don't need 90 fps or to have the fastest thing out there. If I could boost my fps to the 20-30 range on my "main" and run 4 copies of WoW i'd be thrilled.

Thanks in advance for your input!

(For those curious, i'm considering three different groups of 4. The first would serve to level a priest to 70, so it'd feature a priest healer along with likely 3 of a dps class--most likely elemental Shaman, probably all Draenei, RP'd as a Priest commanding his escort of bodyguards. The second would likely be a dwarven prot pally that's taken a trio of hive-minded gnome mages or warlocks under his protection. Finally, a feral druid teamed with 3 balance/resto hybrids would add a stealth group of spies to the party. Yes, I play on an RP server, hehe)
