4 Clients 1 Computer?

[Sandman004]

If I have 4 clients running on 1 computer, or even 3 clients... would it be possible to multibox on 1 computer? Would I need 4 computers?

I am starting to figure this out, and also what software would I need?

You would need a pretty strong computer.

Computer fried has told me that to box 3 on one computer you need 2.5 ghz dual core, 2gigs of ram, and a badass video card.

I've got the 2.5 dual core, but only one gig of RAM and not that great of card. I haven't tried running three yet, but two copies run at 60 fps with high graphics...

For the first time last night I was running 4 copies on my 2nd machine...

X2 5600, 2GB Ram, nVidia 7600gt w/256mb ram

Was very smooth with all four tiled on screen (640x512).

I am only triple boxing on one machine

Athlon X2 4600 (2.4Ghz)
2Gb ram
Radeon 1950XT

works like a dream

I imagine, based on performance before I upgraded my RAM, that you could run 3 on a 1Gb machine provided you spanned your desktop or had the clones minimised.
