With 5 WoW instances on my i7, here is what I set mine to:
Slot 1: 1,2
Slot 2: 3,4
Slot 3: 5,6
Slot 4: 7,8
Slot 5: 5,7 (this one is assigned 2 physical cores)

This has served me well and is what I recommend to other i7 users. Enjoy

1 - 2
3 - 4
5 - 6
7 - 8
9 - 10
11 - 12

I have let round robin rule the cpu, and I have just one 4gb gtx 680, and I want to be running a full 4 man group in swtor would I need to get another video card?

lax wrote:Hmmm, well.. 2 rounds of straight Round-Robin with 16/6 will leave 4 instances. You've got 3 of those 4 assigned to 2 physical but that doesn't extend nicely to 4.

What I would suggest is to keep the 2 rounds of Round-Robin, but then do something like have 2 of the remaining double up on 3 physical cores, and the other 2 double up on the other 3 physical cores.

Example:
Slot 1: 1,2 (1 physical, 1 logical)
Slot 2: 3,4
Slot 3: 5,6
Slot 4: 7,8
Slot 5: 9,10
Slot 6: 11,12
Slot 7: 1,2
Slot 8: 3,4
Slot 9: 5,6
Slot 10: 7,8
Slot 11: 9,10
Slot 12: 11,12
Slot 13: 1,3,5 (3 physical)
Slot 14: 7,9,11 (3 physical)
Slot 15: 1,3,5 (3 physical)
Slot 16: 7,9,11 (3 physical)

This way you're not expecting to break everything with one remaining instance

With this information, I'm planning to log in all of my accounts in about a week from now. 100 accounts will be logged into the front of Orgrimmar with a level 80 or higher using 10 computers. I'll be streaming the event at twitch.tv/preparedwow and will also post a youtube video of it. Will ISBoxer handle 100 accounts logged in at the same time? We'll see. I'll let you know how it goes.

That's why it won't be inside Orgrimmar. It will be outside and at a time when no events are taking place there.
