Dual-boxing and Mac's?

[Shambles]

Hi every1, i have been interested in dual boxing a few accounts online for a while now. However the problem i have is, i own a Mac.
So my question is: Is it at all possible to dual box with a Mac? and if so how would i go about doing it?

Any help would be appreciated.

thnx

I know nothing about multi-boxing on Macs but a quick search of the Wiki lead me here

you can totally multi-box on macs. check out clonekeys, it is a free key broadcasting solution. of course processing power and ram is an issue but that's true with any platform.

i've been thinking of running it on the windows side but am currently running it on osX, works well for me so far

i have been told of people using a windows emulator on the mac to run keyclone and wow...
so, i would imagine the normal windows solutions can be used on a mac.

I've just started multi-boxing myself, on a Mac, and I'm running 5 shammies. My hardware is a Mac Pro with NVidia 8800GT, 30" monitor for my main window, 17" that shares the 4 slaves. I use the freebie clonekeys for keyboard multiplexing, and the usual assist macros. This config runs 5 instances of WoW just fine.

Clonekeys does seem to be slightly buggy, I have cases where keypresses seem to get dropped. From time to time a key press will go to 3 of the slaves, but not the 4th, so I find myself spamming casting keys. Also, when telling it which apps to broadcast from, make sure WoW is not in the middle of a loading screen, or it's likely to freeze up. For the most part though it seems to work fine.

Zoning into Shattrath is my biggest problem; massive hard drive thrash and consequential lag when I do that

Hope that helps.

I have the same problem with Clonekey... and I have seen a few others with the same issue of keypresses being dropped. I was wondering if it had anything to do with me using a wireless keyboard.

Ugh - emulator, if you mean Virtual PC, forget that, WAY too slow to play WoW.

If you have an Intel Mac, it can run Windows, natively, so that is a solution for using KeyClone.

However, most newer Macs should run two copies fine, the latest iMacs, Powerbook Pros, Mac Pros should all do more no problem, if you have enough ram. Mini's I would'nt try more than 2, my Mini can do it, but it's not that great, the video on it isn't great.

However, I dual and 3 box just fine on a dual 2.0 G5, with 6 gigs ram. I have to lower the video setting, but it works great.
