Beginner at MBing

I have been playing WoW for a very long tme and recently found out about MBing.
I began to research and experiment and was able to get two WoWs running on one P.C. and created two shamans and it worked out fine.
However, now I want to try 3-4 Mbing but do not know if my computer can handle it. I am very tight with the budget. =/
I know my way around computers but when it comes to technical stuff...I am a noob.

Here are my comp specs:
Ram : 2046 MB
Processor : AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.60Ghz
System Type : 32- bit Operating System
Microsoft Vista

Display Adapter : NVIDIA Geforce 7300 Le
Monitor : 20" (widescreen)

I am unsure if there is anything missing that I should include?

From just looking at these specs...will running three WoW's be a hassle or not?

And since many people use more then one monitor...I was thinking of another alternative.
I have a T.V in my room which is hooked up to my comp...which I rarely use as a second monitor.
The T.V is 30" (widescreen)...Is that a better alternative then buying another monitor?

i was running 5 on a pc really close to that before i got my 8800, it was choppy in shat but other than that is was pretty smooth, i was getting around 25-30 fps out in the world with the main, and i used keyclone to limit the alts to 15fps. But for 3 you should be fine.

There should be no Problem. If you have the Cables to do this. and of course your Grafx Card can handle it ;)

This has nothing to do with Mbing...I am playing my original wow and everything is fine...however everytime I press...enter it minimizes the game and opens up some window. (internet explorer or some folder) hELP!
