I built a system about 6 months ago, and it's still pissing me off.
My specs are:
Striker Extrmeme Motherboard,
Asus 8800GT,
4x1GB Crucial Ballistix 800,
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1,
320GB WD 7200 speed 16MB HDD,
Q6600 CPU,
Windows XP Pro 64,
So here is my deal... I play WoW and dual box alot. I have an old Dell notebook (E1705) with 2gb of ram, a Go 7900 video card and the dell runs WoW with 60+ fps and even if i dual box on the notebook i still get around 45-50fps with both screens up at the same time.
My new desktop gets 100-200fps depending on location which is great but when i dual box, my fps goes down to around 10-15fps. Very choppy. Now my buddy has the same computer i do (dekstop wise) and has no problems dual boxing. The only difference is he has the motherboard thats one step lower, and uses xp pro 32.
I have tried using xp pro 32 and i still seem to get the same problem. All my drivers up are to date. I just don't know what could be the big difference other then the motherboard but would the mobo really make THAT much of a difference?
