MQ2 and Boxing

[Druid]

Do you have to do anything special to run a box (only 2 toons) and MQ2 ?

Can you run different macros in each toon?

 

[Siddin]

no, you don't need anything special.
yes, i run 5 different toons on 1 comp and run a different mac on each of em

Siddin what are your computer specifications to handle 5 accounts on 1 computer?

 

[Siddin]

amd 64x2 4800+
overclocking it to about 3.0 ghz
Windows xp 64, using affinity to set eq to work on certain proccessors as well as setting priorities for different accounts. ie the bard is a below normal priority
and using nvidia geforce 6600
and as usual, disable all services that are NOT needed for windows.

I wish i could find out what services are not needed for windows xp. My program mangager has tons of stuff in the background.

do i need to run anything besides EQ and EQ and MQ2 ?

I keep getting a ctd on the second instancs of EQ.

Siddin, do you really need to overclock?

I've got:
AMD Athlon X2 4200+ (Non Overclocked)
~4 Gb Ram, PC 3200 (Mobo not supporting all 4 gigs)
Nvidia 7800 GT
XP MCE

And I can run 7 accounts with no lag and more than reasonable zoning times.

 

[Siddin]

prolly not, but I always overclock my cpu
