My rig is a laptop with the following specs: Intel i5 2.4ghz dualcore 3gb ddr3ram nvidia geforce 310m 1gb I dont have gatheringbots on multiple accounts, I just use this for myself and I love it. Gotta get me one of those badass desktop rigs though.
Currently only using two machines. 1) AMD FX-8120 (8*3.1 GHz) Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR3 RAM Nvidia GeForce 560-Ti 2 GB GDDR5 2) AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (6*3.2 GHz) Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR3 RAM Nvidia GeForce 550-Ti 1 GB GDDR5
I run up to 6 wow instances on my main rig when I'm feeling gutsy but usually just 1-2: i7-2600k Overclocked to 4.4Ghz 16GB RAM 2x GTX590 SLI hooked up to dual 27" monitors As a heads-up my GTX 590s create tons of issues with wow. I have no issues with any other game but for some reason wow causes occasional driver crashes. I've done a whole bunch of goofy things (reinstall windows, drivers, play with nvidia settings, etc) trying to fix it with no luck. I'm excited to upgrade to ivy bridge and kepler... when they finally release them... when I upgrade I'm going to try to throw a GTX 590 into my esxi server and see if I can get that working so I get a different mac address/ip address on an account. I've heard some people have a lot of luck and others saying they had no luck doing this. Without a graphics card it tries to do all of the calculations using the CPU and the performance is just not good enough.
I have a premade exported vmware image with all the software setup. The main pieces of software I use in each VM are: Windows XP SP3 (cut down with nlite for a 48-64mb total memory profile), .NET Framework 4, Vmware 3d Driver, VPN software client, WoW and Honorbuddy. WoW is configured to use the smallest window size + have all details turned down or off. VM has a 80gb vhdd and 1gb of ram assigned + 64mb of videoram + the usual Vmware caching FUD (about 1.25GB total ram usage per VM) Tried using Hyper-V but quickly found out that the 3D driver was not upto the task and either wouldn't load WoW or randomly crashed after some time (this was a while ago things may have changed)...Although I must admit I do miss dynamic memory management. With the setup as above I can run 10VMs and still have about 2gb free memory for other tasks. Processing power with 4 cores can be limited with 10 bots on a questing profile however grinding or gathering or even BG profiles seem to require significantly less CPU.
Whelp Is there way you could point me in the right direction for making the slim windows xp and installing vm software.
sure. This is quite similar to the profile Im using now...This is what my profile is based off... Tested good nlite presets-184mb of 24/7 stable and compatable goodness. This profile was made back in the SP1 days so there may be additional stuff required but I have used this profile on an SP2 CD and it worked fine. To make the image I simply install the trial version of vmware workstation and create the VM on that and install all required software. Then I install VMware player and transfer that VM image over to VMware Player. Pretty simple once you get the hang of it.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 4 gig ram intel radeon 5770 Couldnt be worse, especially since my cpu is broken and everytime the cores run over 2ghz, they collapse, but runs 3-6 bots.
i5-2500k @4,5ghz 8 gig ram GTX 470 SLI running 10 accounts for the 4rd year now. No 72h susp / no bans. Just human like botting(random online times with up to max. 10 hours for each account) with private profiles.
Hey I have 6gb of ram, should I get more. More ram = more bots? I got an amd quadcore cpu so I think im ok.
This is my working station. But now with 2x 24" monitors and on the right side of my notebook with 2 printers, over the printers with one 32" TV
