Upgrading to 4 bots

[xunai]

Hi folks,


i am currently running one bot. and maybe i want to add 3 bots to my machine. What do i have to upgrade and what is the most important to run around 4 bots smooth?

Current setup:

4gb Ram
amd phenomon x4 940 (3ghz)
radeon 4890 (currently using onboard video card for one bot)

You can start by getting 4 more GB of memory.

yep that was my idea aswell, but is that enough?

8 Gb's will be enough to run 4 bots. Diablo clients will eat like 60% of that memory. And the processor usage for 4 of Diablo and DB clients will be around 70-85%. This info is quiet exact, because I run 4 bots on the rig like that (Phenom II 955 @3.6 and 8 Gb's of DDR3 Ram).

and whats about the video card? the onboard card i am using (ati radeon 3200 , overclocked to 850mhz) is really fine for one bot. I dont like my radeon 4890 because it is so noisy...

I have a GTX460. According to Afterburner the GPU usage is around 30-40%. With the lowest graphic settings more or less decent video card doesn't suffer at all.
