yep. using a whopping 9GB of RAM (out of 16).
Two WoW accounts is about 4.2GB of RAM.
Ill screenshot it later, just for posterity.
Games do not use as much RAM as you think they do; or, more precisely, if lots of RAM is available, theyll happily load stuff into it, but there is almost no performance loss of any kind with less RAM - most of the time, all that extra info sits there unused.
Two instances of WoW should be fine on 8GB of RAM. If you're having stuttering issues, it might be an issue with the power of the rest of your rig.
