So I am currently using my desktop to bot, I can run 5 instances of wow at the lowest resolution and settings possible, and its pretty slow. I think it can run 5 optimally. I am looking to expand to 10 instances of Honorbuddy which means I will need to buy an additional tower. What do you guys suggest? Remember im not looking for a graphical powerhouse, just something that can run multiple instances of WoW at the lowest possible settings. a minumum of 5, as I would like to expand to possible 15 or 20 in the future
just get a cheap amd 965 maybe 150 for cpu an MB an 8gig ram 50 an throw a cheap HD 50 in it and just splurge an graffix card maybe 70-80 bam
Graphics card is what you need my man. I suggest firehack (4 bucks a month) to turn off all the rendoring, you can run triple the instances with this hack.
Only issue with this is is all of my logging/botting is 100% automatic. scedules etc. I do not know of a way to automate the activating of firehack for each instance of WoW
True wow is mostly cpu intensive, only if you have higher graphical detail will you need a beefy GPU. AMD muilticore cpu's are very cheap due to Intel pressure at higher prices so they can be worth a look for cheaper multibotting.
Saying this tho I find wow sucks RAM and CPU is never over 30% with 2 bots and wow's running I find each Instance of wow uses around 450MB of RAM and each buddy session uses 120-140MB
