Dual box help

[Antz]

Hi, I'm pretty new to dual boxing and i was wondering why in the hell i lag SO much when i have to chars logged in.
My PC ain't so bad spec is: 2.13 GHz dual core, 2GM of RAM running XP service pack 2 and using an Nvidia Geforce 7600 GS graphics card.
I use windower and the priority plug in, but i seem to run like 8 FPS, lol. I usually run around 28~29.2 FPS when i have 1 account logged in.

Can anyone help me out plz?

Thanks Antz

try lowering your crap, like background resolution

^ this. if you get lag when dual boxing it means something can't handle it. Don't discount FF's ability to choke a cock on Nvidia drivers.

Turn off drawdistance if you have it on, that alone makes a significant difference. Other then that it sounds like either your settings are too big for the graphics cards asshole or something else is bottlenecking when you try and run the program along side itself.

Hmmm, i think it's b/c i open them both on full screen? lol. I use FFXI Element too for max graphics, maybe thats it? I have a massive reso too, 1680x1050 << Any advice on what i could do? I'm not really a wiz with this kind of stuff

Haha, that is why you're killing your machine.

Half them (the resolution) at least, and tune it down.
