Get 8GB. It can be done for under $100, and helps significantly with 5-boxing on only one box.

agree on the ram and maybe 2 hard drives instead of just the 1. gonna wanna split the clients over them i think. the other stuff should be fine though.

The hard drive trick can help, if you have them on separate controllers. This occurs naturally with SATA (unless you try really, really hard to make it not...) since it's a serial point-to-point interconnect, as opposed to IDE which can have 2+ devices attached to a shared cable/controller.
Or if you're blowing cash for Raptors anyway, just pick up one of those $100 SSD drives from OCZ or whoever. The SATAII ones should have more than enough bandwidth not to care if 5 clients are all pestering it simultaneously, and it will hose anything short of possibly SCSI as far as the many-small-reads that tends to be an issue for MBing WoW.
