I did that when running 2nd group thru abyss, I didn't connect them to eqbc though, just loaded toons on another pc and parked them at zone in..

do what you want.. but I highly doubt the SSD will fix your lag issue. once it's done loading the zone files, it doesn't touch the disk again. unless you're running out of RAM and it's paging... in that case MAOR RAM

as I said, I have 850 Evo's on both my pcs, one lags one doesn't... one has an i7 4core/8thread with 18gigs, other has 2core/2thread with 4gb.. and sits at 80% ram used during play

ok so.. I finally got around to installing the Core2Quad in this pc (pain in the ass, the clips for the fan are so damn tight, almost broke the motherboard..)

anyway HUGE difference. I went from a 3.0ghz dual core (E8400) to a 2.8ghz quad core (Q9505S), same amount of ram (4gb, not much) everything immediately feels faster. 8 toons in Emu is quite a bit more responsive, I haven't done a lot of long distance follow testing (I'm done with Loping... lol) but they seem to follow better.

few interesting things I found..

each Rof2 client spawns 22 threads (!) if you are running 18 toons, that's almost 400 threads! so the most important thing here I think is going to be cores & threads - MOAR CORES!! ram is important yes, but it really depends on the zone too.. with my 8 toons loaded in Stonehive I was at 93% ram used, once I zoned them to Templeveeshan that dropped to 75% in use(!)  - ergo Stonehive is a shitty zone to use as a city.. there was only 12 toons in there at the time, 8 of them being mine..

also, check the affinity of each client - I thought Rof2 was pretty good at spreading them out, but turns out.. it really isn't. after loading my 8 toons, it assigned 3 of them to core 0, 3 to core 1, 2 to core 2, and NONE to core 3... so I rearranged them for 2 clients on each core.
[to do this, in task manager, click on details, right-click each client (eqgame.exe) and select "set affinity" - I think there might be a way to do this in the shortcut properties... or in a batch file]

So you are saying that going with the processor over the SSD would be the best bet?  Huh

I went from a 2.4 dual core pentium to a much better 8core AMD and from 4gb or ram to 16.... it was a world changer for me and my 12 toons.... i was able to play up to 18 toons with the old set up but man....its so smooth now...

ok for the 1155 socket is the i7-3770K the biggest bang for the buck?  The research i have done says it is a "favorite of enthusiast"....... Huh

How about this i7-2600k?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=intel+i7+2600k&ignorear=0&N=-1&isNodeId=1
Seems it is 3.4 ghz (so .5 ghz less than the 3770k) but with same cache and cores as the i7 3770k......also slightly less expensive.

sorry I don't know.. I'd say get the fastest cpu that will fit in the socket. well, besides some Intel "Xtreme" thing that's $1000...

you might also think about something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7RB4XK3505&ignorebbr=1

$135 for a whole computer... only 4gb ram but it may be expandable..
network that to your system, you'll have to figure out how to connect it to EQBC but I assume it's easy once you figure it out.. and run 6-8 toons on that pc.

hell I'm tempted to buy one just because.. $135 whole damn computer!
