Default Ok i'm going to give wow 5 box a go. Questions!

Ok i'm bored of other MMO, and going to give WoW a try. Some questions.
Keep in mind i know NOTHING of the game..


The game install:
Going to run 5 accounts, any disadvantage to running vanilla WoW first for a bit while I level? Am i missing out on anything other than level cap that a multiboxer should have (other than more pve naturally)?

System:
1st system: Quad Core 2.83ghz, 8gigs ram, Nvidia GTX 260 Core216
2nd system: Dual Core 2.93ghz, 4gig ram, Ati 4780 card.
Both have 24 inch monitiors.
What is best way to set up pwnboxer to run on this setup? main on one screen, 4 others on 2nd screen or what?

Software
Besides Pwnboxer, Wow client, any other software I need for this? I run INput director on both computers so i can use one mouse and keyboard, would this interfere with pwnboxer?

Charactors:
Ideal group, mostly pve for time being? I know its mater of preference, but druid and all mages be best for dungeons (or you call them just instances?). I want to farm boss mobs, heros, or whatever you call them in wow. :P

Thanks!

Vanilla wow would prevent you from using the Burning Crusade races. That's all you really miss out on.

Unless I missed it, you can't use more than one computer with pwnboxer. You might make it work with input director but I haven't tried. But you should be able to run all 5 on your first machine.

For some reason I thought I read you can span to other monitors, I guess not over a network, just a 2nd monitor on same PC?

All you need is 1x Tower (capable of running 5 wows) 1x Monitor 1x Keyboard 1x Mouse 1x pwnboxer 1x WoW Client

ure system will run it fine


I suggest 4x shaman 1xpally or warrior.

You will need macro's setup which you can make inhale by pressing /m

I also suggest an addon called bartender,

I know you don't know much about the game n maybe I could of helped abit more but Invar work n very busy so hopefully somebody will link you to threads that will help you

I don't understand some of the English uses in that, but i'm aware one PC will run WoW 5x fine, what i want to know is if i can span the characters to other PC screen.

I've read the FAQ how-tos on this site.

Yes. You can use both monitors with Pwnboxer as long as they are both connected to a single PC. Many of us run this configuration.

Pwnboxer only works on one PC per license.
