Is it generally agreed upon that if you have the option to run the same amount of bots with or without vm that you SHOULD use vm?

You have been misinformed, it's the opposite of what you heard.

1 - Do you mean to say that VM will only increase the system load at ANY rate?

2 - And that you will always be able to run more bots or more efficiently without VM?

If 1 is true then my question is answered.

 

[Bottletorch]

Both. It's better to figure out how many bots you want to run and find out if your system will be able to handle it.

Your CPU and RAM will determine how many bots you can run smoothly. You can save on the GPU, but 2GB of ram on it is pretty much the safer bet.

bad:
- increased system load

good:
- own hwid for each bot
- you can minimize botclients
- seperates bots from real os and real d3

If you run very little else, probably 3-4, maybe one or two more, not sure.

I can run 5 right now but spikes really slow them down and can occasionally get them killed.

Ideally I would like to run 7. I realize 10 is out of the question without an upgrade.

anyone have tips to increase performance? ive done nothing but turned fps down to 25.

How do i find out what my options are for upgading prior to having to "start from scratch"?

Also does windows 7 screen resolution have any impact on performance whatsoever?

 

[Kolt21]

Currently 25-37 CPU Usage with 6 bots out.

I disabled just about everything humanly possible that I could find to disable via the internets.

Not sure how it will do when all 6 are in combat with DB up (since db is down atm).

Maybey I can get 7-9? no way to find out without 3 more accounts.

Purchasing to find out doesnt sound fun .
