hi all
i need a bit of help here, i play on a server where is allowed to multibox, my question is...
If i upgrade my graphics card, will i be able to open more client with less lags? ( i don't want any play with no box or change server or whatever i just ned to know this from somebody who knows about pcs or smth xD, Icarus if u could since i saw u know about these things.)
my specs are
2 gb RAM 667
AMD anthlon X2 dual core 5200+ @ 2.7 GHZ
geforce 6150 SE ( yes integrated graphics)

so.... ty in advance.
cheers o/

Hi Jubei
My brother knows much about computers, and he said that it is possible that you could open more clients with less lags, but it is better if u ask an expert.

yo shalana :p still on abyss?
and hookay ty :]

Im not on abyss. It changed to Gracia so MAYBE i will go back. Of course i change my name

abyss x 5?
or other?

yes, get a better graphic card. A 512/512 if u got the money or at least a 256/256. with ur computer i can open a lot of l2 windows.... i have an atlon 2,4 ghz with 2gb ram 667 and pnboard graphic card and i can still open 4-5 l2 windows... but it olso depend on the server u play...

yes, gfx is the main thing u need, the performance will get better by ~100% when compared with integrated one ... u can try e.g. GTS 250 with 1gb, it has good proportion of price/performance atm

but u must realize that u will be using only one active window (=max fps) and the others arent important at that moment (inactive l2 windows have 1 fps or so) so it doesnt need gfx power, but higher amount of RAM

so i suggest u to buy another 2GB RAM module -> that will allow u opening more l2 clients

the delay what appears when switching between active/inactive windows is mainly caused by saving RAM data to pagefile and by reading them which is waaaaaaaaaay slower than reading from RAM

playing at the bastard son of abyss, x7 :p
ty spidap P i will see which i find but 250 GTS is not an option ( over 700 euros or 750 USD in my country ) i might go humble for a 9600 GT
ty for answering i can focus on buying that thing so

I think i will try x3 or x5 but i don't think i will return to x7. But maybe, who knows. Everything depends on the decision of my friends.

for xxxx-boxing at least 4GB RAM is a must otherwise ull get a bad surprise

ok in that case 9800GT is better option imo. the price is almost identical and ull get more form ur money
see e.g. here: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=71678

i do 3 box and my pc stats are

processor - Amd Athlon dual core 2x2.60Ghz
3 GB ram
video Nvidia GeForcer 9500 GT and i dont hav lagz only when my internets are bad

have a look at task manager and tell me how much RAM does every l2.exe process take ;]
additionaly, as ive said, u dont need ultraimbaGFX for xxxx-boxing

teh gfx matter when you wanna play with HQ grafix

yes, ofc ... omg but do u see the difference between ONE CLIENT with HQ graphics and 10 clients with low graphics? HW requirements are different for these ways of playing ...

well im not boxing atm but when i start to box i will check ^^ if htere is a diffrence
