Can my rig handle it? - Multiboxing in World of Warcraft and Beyond!

Dannyzz · 10-05-2009, 06:15 PM

Hello. I've been watching Tim on Justin TV for a few weeks now, and was refereed here to see whether or not you guys think my rig can handle 3 accounts at once.

Rig is a bit old, so I am a bit worried whether or not it can.

AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core Processor 6000
Each core = 3 GHz 2x1-24 KB L2 cache
2000 MHz system bus
Nvidia 8500gt
Hard drive=500 gb sata2
Memory=dual channel/2048 MB DDR2

Using Windows Vista Home Premium.

I am pretty comp stupid, hopefully that is enough information to get a few responses. If not please let me know what I left out. Or what I could do(cheaply), to allow me to run my 3 accounts with Pwnboxer.

Thanks in advance.

Operating System?

More Ram will be the cheapest route, how much your motherboard will recognize and which operating system 32 bit or 64 bit will determine the highest amount you can get.

Compared to new stuff out there my system is pretty much crap but I run 5 accounts with no trouble main window can run up to 60 FPS. But I throttle it back to 30-40 with the other four running at 10 while in the background.

Thats pretty solid for a 3box system

A second hard drive (or 2 in a RAID0 array) if you have trouble with lag.

My comp is much like yours, and I was 3 boxing just fine when I had RAF bonus. If you haven't done this you might have a look at it. I'm kinda computer dumb but I found turning off Vista visual stuff makes it run faster.
