Don't have hyperthreading, etc but was just curious if there are any tips or tricks to keep both accounts from going linkdead? At the moment I am just switching between them regularly but its getting quite annoying doing so. :p

Both windowed is best afaik

/clientsleep background or minimized
/effects group/none/self

clip planes near, shadows off. Lowest graphic settings.

I've got a AMD 1600 and a Gforce 2 512 SD Ram and i can run 2x Accounts fine. Sometimes my bot sticks. but then i get the biggest graphics bug going and i'm in corus mine and it says ive entered darkspire etc.

Before starting camelot

- Right click my computer
- click properties
- select advanced tab
- click settings button in the 'performance' group box
- select advanced tab
- select 'background services option' in the 'processor scheduling' group box

In game:

/clientsleep background

Should be fine to run the game in fullscreen mode this way.

main problem is memory though, with 1k it goes alot better then with 512mb.

For me, i run 1x full screen ToA and 1x windowed ToA if i go RvR, and 2x windowed if i PvE. Works like a charm.
(AMD 3500+, 1GB ram).
