List of multiboxers who stream + what hardware they have

[Tim]

Hello all,

I'm trying to assemble a list of hardware on what people are multiboxing with that is capable of streaming video as well, that way we can figure out the barebone requirements to multibox + video stream. The end goal is for me to create a webpage listing what is required to stream depending on your # of multiboxed guys, your ISP details, and your hardware specs.

So if you guys are streaming to JTV, could you please respond to the post with this:

How many guys you box?
--
What multiboxing program you use?
--
What is your PC CPU?
--
What is your PC RAM?
--
What is your PC GFX Card?
--
What is your internet ISP + down/up speed?
--
What OS do you have?
--
Is WoW on a separate HD than your OS?
--
Are you using FME+VHScrCap? If not, what?
--
What resolution do you capture your stream at?
--
What resolution do you broadcast your stream at?
--
What encoding (eg. VP6) and bitrate (eg. 1500kbps) is your broadcast at?
--
How many FPS do you average your broadcast at?
--
What is the avg. bandwidth you send out?
--



Thanks in advance for this info!!
