World of Warcraft, HonorBuddy and Multiple Cores

Which experience do you have botting multiple wows using Multiple cores?

Do you benefit from using quadcores or not?

If you are running 12 wows, you can for example run 3 on each core of your Quad Core, but does it really worth? are higher GHz dual cores better for botting?


Hardcore botters give your opinions.

 

Quad and Six Core > any dual core.

 

Why? please justify your answers.

 

because a quad core is better than a dual core?
quad core can handle more at the same time.

And my quad cores got nearly the same ghz as a dual core^^
my six core is at 3,6 ghz and can handle ~30-40 wows

 

my i7-920 is on 28 % cpu load with 30 GB runnung

 

^^^ ROFL

Here is the skinny, dual core is optimized already for most programs out there, or let me reverse that, most programs out there are optimized for dual core. Meaning that mr huge 6 core blah blah isnt gaining JACK, NILL, NONE, NOTHING from having all those cores for wow etc. Now what extra cores DO allow you to do is assign processes to them by setting affinity. Example would be taking your back 2 or 4, depending on what you have, cores and putting wow on them so that Windows7 and all the other junk you have running are not fighting for core time. So with a dual core you dont have that ability to really give a process to a core all by itself. My recommendation would to ALWAYS be a dual core for gaming, until games that you enjoy playing are made to use more than 2 cores, OR if you are going to be wanting to run 5+ sessions of wow or whatever, get quad core and when you open up wow ctrl+alt+del and go to task manager->processes->show all processes-> right click wow-> set affinity and use one of your back cores that isnt being used. You can see them in task manager under performance to see which cores are taking a load to see how you want to spread out your wow sessions.

Anyways thats to the best of my knowledge, my suggestion. Oh and the only real upgrade that all the "i" series of cpus got was to add hyperthreading to the cores. Remember when Pentium 4 first came out then intel released hyperthreading. It was a way for them to soak out some more money from their current cpus without changing much. This is the same thing. Using their current cores they added hyperthreading and BAM new product to make people want to buy.

 

wtf - u guys are crazy

 

Man i got 3x quad cores, 1x six core and a dual core.
i think i know what im talking about ok?
Quad Core > Dual Core

And look what Bossland said, 30 bots on 28% load.
Show me any Dual Core running 30 bots on 28%
after 10-15 bots your dual core is done

 

There's much more to Nehalem than just Hyper-Threading; it's a completely new microarchitecture.

 

here a small thingy from the pro himself:

i7 - 920 load < 30 % with 30 GB
Q6600 load > 70 % with 18 GB
my old dual cores where finished with 8-10 wows, but they are really old AMD X2 5200+

however a i7 - 860 or 920 >> dual core shit

 

I actually have the Q6600 and Bossland nailed the the hammer right on the head, i max out at around 17-19 wows (not HB or GB tho, i dont have that many sessions )

I think the more the cores, the better, as its easier on the processor, and thus better.

 

holy cow, you guys spend way too much time reading up on tech stuff...

Well...

If you're going towards botting Many WoW's, The more cores you have the better!

You don't need to set affinity and shit, just let WoW use all the cores at once, it will split the loads on the cores.

But in the end it depends on how many you're actually planing to use.

If you want 10-15 , a quad will do.
If you want anything over 20, get an SSD for the system/wow and an i7 or some AMD x6

 

OMG, wtf u doing with 17-19 wows open if u are not botting?

U multiboxing 10 mans?

 

or mayby corpse advertising with trials

 

<~~~I want in on this.....


Morga

 

Lol, no its called another bot

EDIT: But now you have me interested

 

pls tell me what about RAM memory? how many RAM u have on your computers

 

The most you will ever need is triple channel 6gb of ram. Anything more than that is just overkill.

 

Wait guys, you can run wow minimized ?


If I run it minimized, the bot won't do anything, qu? pasa ?
