Minimum Specs to dualbox in World of Warcraft

[Tim]

Here are the minimum specs in order to multibox in World of Warcraft with 2 characters. I've based these specs off of a netbook class laptop I currently use, as well as a few slower PCs that I have done some testing on.

Minimum Specs to 2 Box

1.6 ghz CPU any dual core or more
-- Make sure all programs on your PC are closed
-- Set your background on your PC to a solid color (eg black) with no background images
Vista XP Pro
-- For Vista you will need a much faster CPU, such as 2.4ghz+
2.0 GB RAM
-- Each WoW will use about 900MB at the max in Dalaran, leaving some leftover memory for your Windows OS
GeForce 7200
-- This card is pretty cheap now, like $40. Set your graphic settings to LOW in WoW
12 GB Hard Drive
-- Which is needed for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Mine is about 12GB at least.
Pwnboxer Multiboxing Software (Pwnboxer.com - Multiboxing at its finest > Home)
-- This is an absolute MUST because you need to tweak a bunch of your game settings.
#1 - Set your CPU affinity if you have a dual core to put 1 WoW on each core.
#2 - Set your graphics to LOW on both games
#3 - Set your background FPS of both games to be 7. Set the foreground FPS of both games to be 20.
2x World of Warcraft accounts
-- Obviously need 2 WoWs to dualbox

WoW is more CPU dependent than graphics, so although it would run it, you may struggle a fair bit, especially running more than 2 games.

Tips for optimizing slaves for minimum cpu/gfx

- Addon: CT_Viewport - minimum rendering area around 250x250, even if minimum wow is just a bit under 800x600
- Addon: Leatrix_Gfx - set maximum fps to 10 on active, 5 on inactive
- Keyclone config: maxfpsbk 5, maxfps 10
