Can i run it?

[wakEE]

Hello!
Im thinking of multiboxing once again!
Ive been multiboxin four shamans before.

Speccs comes here :
Nvidia geforce 9600
Amd athlon dual core (3.0gz)
3gb ram
600gb harddrive

Fast question. Can i multibox four accounts without problems ?
What should i update first? ram ?

Ive been multiboxing before. But it was a long time ago.
I dont really remember how my computer handled it.

I would suggest 6gb of ram for 5-boxing.
4-boxing might be fine with 3gb, but it sounds low.

The rest of the system is fine for boxing.



If you are looking for additional tweaks, to enhance performance, the three biggest upgrades are:

Additional Ram, if that is your bottleneck.
A solid state drive.
A processor upgrade.

WoW is not very video intensive, but that can be the bottleneck on some systems.

As far as ram goes, you need a 64-bit operating system to use more then 3.25gb of ram. The 3.25 includes both ram (memory) and video ram. I generally suggest 1gb per wow plus 1gb for the operating system.

A low end SSD, for $100-200, for the gaming folder is an enormous boost towards smooth play, especially when you need to load information from your drive -- cities in particular, but anywhere where there are a lot of players (textures to load).

Aside from shadows, just about every graphical option available, adds it load to your CPU. WoW is a cpu intensive game; aside from insufficient ram, a processor is almost always the largest upgrade a system can get.



From your account management page, you can send yourself free RAF referrals. Send four to yourself, and log them in at the same time. Go to performance monitor, in task manager, and run the performance monitor utility. Then mess around on the trial accounts for a bit; kill a few things and see how Stormwind or Ogrimmar runs on your system. Any resource which gets to 100%, is a bottleneck -- which if upgraded will allow for smoother play.

Dalaran and Wintergrasp will run a little worse then anything you can check with trial accounts, but the rest of the game should be similar to your trial experience. It will give you a decent idea of where you stand.

Okay thanx!
I allready got a 64x system!
Its windows 7 ultimate.
Alltought im thinking of upgrading my ram.
Ive allways been thinking of it.

And if i gonna upgrade my processor.
I gotta get a new MB. Which in my case isnt worth it (imo).

I got like seven unused wow accounts.
So if i start multiboxing i will use old accounts without R-a-f.

But tomorrow. I will try running 4 accounts and see.
Though i think it will be better with Pwnboxer's backround fps and such.

Thanks for you reply!

well you could always just make 4 trial accounts and test your system to see how it will handle the stress.

also make sure you turn all the graphic settings down just in case

Yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to get a new processor, without going for something new in the last year or so. Which means the new motherboard and ram as well.

I'd probably bump up to 6gb or 8gb of ram, and leave it at that for upgrades. I would think, on minimal graphic settings, you'd run 4 copies just fine. If you're looking for further upgrades, a low end SSD purely for the wow folder is another relatively cheap option, and it would be usable on a newer system down the road, if you upgrade in a year or two.
