I'm wondering if you can have 2 Lineage 2's running on one PC provided that the PC has enough Power to do it all. I have a P4 3.2ghz with 1 gig OCZ DDR 400 and a NVidia 6800GT with Dual Monitor Outputs.. So I'm wondering if when I get back I can Dual Box on one PC two L2 Accounts and do like it is with Windows and DVD Playback of move the mouse over to the other screen and not have to ALT-Tab back and forth etc. Anyone ever do this or willing to give it a try for me and give me some input to this? Would be greatly helpful as I'm 3 weeks from getting back on my US Military Deployment and have 2 x 17 inch LCD Monitors waiting for me when I get back.

I dont see why you couldnt, in theory. However, as buggy as Lineage can be at times, for example, i dont think have 2 instances of GameGuard running at the same time will go well. Not mention the uber lag your going to get for using twice the memory and such.

I don't use dual monitors, but I do run 2 Lineage clients on one cpu. In C2, I was able to keep them both maximized with no problem. I just tiled them and left a little sliver on each side to switch.

It is much harder for me to do this in C3. I get much more lag when they are both maximized. I am still able to keep two running/one minimized with no problems. This allows me to always have a shop up or to sit my buffer somewhere safe.

Other people may not have a problem keeping 2 maximized on one cpu.. but this is just my experieince.

I can run up to 5 clients pretty good, provided 4 are on Lower Detail settings.

AMD Athlon FX-53 (water cooled ftw)
ATi Radeon x850
Pretty much the usual harsh gaming thing.

But given you have the right software, this shouldn't be a problem, I think I've seen 4x Monitor setups on some older forums, you might wanna look for them.
