I don't see any issues with this as long as you use the resource limiting features pwnboxer offers.

the hard drive spindle speeds might become an issue however. 5400rpm hard drives and especially most samsung's aren't known for the best performance.

Overall If i were -just- building a new system to multibox i wouldnt build an 800 series core i7... they typically have poor memory performance. My chosen alternative would be socket 1155

I actually downloaded pwnboxer last night haven't quite figured everything out. What would you suggest on the fps restrictions?

i'd say 23 to 30 fps for your main window and anywhere from 10 to 20 for your for background fps might be reasonable. If you have more system resources leftover afterwards you can try increasing your graphics quality settings and or fps

I do 20-30 on the slaves, and don't restrict the main. I want the game to look nice, and your rig shouldn't have any problems.

Default Re: Will this computer run 5 wows

If I can run 5 wow's on my system, which is much lower CPU, then you can run 5 wow's on yours. I have the following:

Code:
        Mainboard Model		M3N78-VM
	AMD Athlon 7750 Black Edition Socket AM2+ (940)
	      Core Speed		2700.0 MHz
	      Multiplier x FSB	13.5 x 200.0 MHz
        4gig Memory Dual Channel (5.5.5.15 1800MHz)
        NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1gig ram
I am getting an upgrade so I can stream while playing an have my wow's on a higher resolution. I have it set to the lowest which is 800x600 on my laptop and 640x480 on my desktop. This is only so that I don't have mega lag while running the 5 wow's. I'll be able to increase this substantially once I upgrade.
