Minimum Specs For 4 Instances On One Machine?
Long-time former InnerSpace user here (RIP, ISXWoW+ISXWarden). I'm eager to try doing a full group in SWTOR on one box. Has anyone had any experience trying it? I'm not really concerned about keyboard command sets or anything like that. Fundamentally, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some minimum hardware requirements? Right now, my beefiest system has the following relevant components -
Mobo: Nvidia 650i Ultra
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8600GT
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz
RAM: 4GB of DDR2 800 (out of a possible 8GB)
This was sufficient to 4Box Wow. But, it's barely able to run one instance of SWTOR. I have to turn everything down to the minimums in-game and dial down every setting in the control panel to run it at 1024x768. So, I'm not really worried about visual quality. The abject graphical minimum is fine. I'm just looking to try running 4 copies with a minimum outlay of cash.
Thanks Everyone!

Edit:
I'm running 32-bit XP. The main problem I'm having is a slow framrate. With this machine, I could run 4 copies of WoW at around 30fps. I was hoping I could just upgrade the graphics card. But, the mobo only has a PCI-Express x16 v1.0 slot for the graphics card. So, unfortunately it looks like I'm basically going to have to get a new mobo, processor, RAM, and graphics card. I'm just trying to figure out the least costly way to do that.
