I got a good system:
P4 2.7 Ghz
1024 gb DDR (333 Mhz) ram
120 gb disk on 7200 rpm
Ati Radeon 9700 Pro All in Wonder

With 1024 gb ram I run 2 accounts perfectly without lag
compared to when I had 512 and I always lded when booting 2nd acc.

I cant put bb on stick tho it lags off. still I heard that most ppl can with that much ram.

1. bb is on SI client.
2. main char on ToA client and most mega effects off due to I dont need it.

Ideas?

HT enabled P4? If not then it will always lag on stick sadly, there is no way or reliably tweaking a non-HT machine to get stick working well. If your P4 is HT-enabled then make sure it is switched on in the BIOS, you shouldn't be getting any lag on stick if it it is setup properly.

Stands for Hyper-Threading, only certain versions of the P4 have it. Can't remember which ones of the top of my head but I will look into it and report back.

set both game.dll to low priority that helps
doing that on my pc:
AMD xp1800
1024 ram
256 geforce5600xt

so no need for uber pc to run 2 accounts on 1 pc

Yeah, but apparently there's some sort of user-made patch for that.
