    Default Will this setup be good enough for a dual boxing wow?

    I'm thinking of giving Dual boxing a go. But my economy is really strained now so I cant afford a new system. Question is if my current one can handle it:

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+
    2GB ram
    Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS

    I'd like to be able to run one client on a seperate monitor. But from what I've heard it hits the framerate pretty hard if you dont have a decent graphic card. Which I as you can see do not. I could consider upgrading it though.

    you should be able to run at least 3 characters at once on that hardware in windowed mode. using different monitors... dunno.

    i can run 3 characters on my laptop (1.5GHz amd, 1GB, 64M ATI radeon mobility) and still get 20-25 FPS. the video on my site was on my desktop... 5 characters on one machine (2GHz AMD, 2GB memory, 256M nvidea). all coordinated with a single keyclone

    I'm running fine with a similiar setup, your CPU is far better then mine, my graphics card is a wee bit faster.

    Athlon64 3500+ (no dual core)
    2gb ram
    nvidia 7600gt oc


    Just started today. Loving it =D

    Are you running that on 1 or 2 monitors?

    Cause 2 monitors running psuedo-fullscreen would be totally awesome for me =).

    mine is running on 2 monitors, when they were separate desktops the performance on monitor 2 was not great... moved to spanned desktop and it is very good.

    Wowmaximiser is used to run each instance fullscreen (ingame setting) in each window
