FYI: built this system as a streaming server for my wife's SL DJ biz...and I can run 18 boxes in T5 without lag....more if I run some skinny.

Check out AMD's Trinity processors (APU). The A8-5600 is low priced and performs quite well. That and a Biostar A85 board will cost you less than $200, and can handle a LOT. Nice part about the setup is that it supports Virtu MVP (Lucidlogic) which lets you Xfire the APU with pretty much any graphics card....in effect giving you SLI with one vid card. As for vid cards....you can get a decent Radeon 7770 for around $120, or spend a little more and go for an Nvidia 650 ti (around $150, which is the route I'd go). Then to round it out....2 8 gig sticks of decent ram that will fit the board will run you around $100. Easy upgrade package, as long as you have a 64 bit operating system.

I will check this out, thanks for the info!

For $500 to $750 you will not be able to buy a machine that will run 12 or 18 toons on full settings.

Who runs every window on full settings? Don't people just use minimum settings on all boxes except the main box?

Windows supports up to 32 GB RAM on the 32bit edition I think and twice that on the 64bit edition.

Nope.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7

No consumer version of 32-bit Windows supports more than 4gb of RAM.  It is a hardware limitation.



As far as upgrading goes, what is your goal?  Hard to give any advice without knowing that.



ah interesting.I knew it was less than the 64 bit but I didn't think it was significantly less. I've only ever used 64 bit edition.

Even if you wanted to run all 18 with full graphics (which doesnt make much sense as you aren't viewing more than one or two at a time) why don't you think about getting the 16GB RAM and using the mq2test plugin that turn viewport 1 1 1 1 on the screens that are not in view. When you switch to the other screen it will reset back to normal. Don't think it will do anything for load time and zoning tho. Small budget too to upgrade and buy a second rig to achieve what you want.
