Just a note, a 64 bit OS is necessary if you want to see more than 3ish gigs of ram. All else equal, RAM is probably the most important component to boxing multiple instances, moreso than processor or video card.

not true. a processor is probably the least important of the three, as long as it is a quad core anyway, and a graphics card and RAM are both equally important because with low amounts of RAM you could have the best graphics card in the world but your computer would suck for multi-boxing. same thing goes for a graphics card, you could have a crappy graphics card and the highest amount of RAM a computer can have (24 gigs i think?) but your computer wouldn't be able to processes the graphics well enough and you would lag like hell every where.
I think what you are saying is that RAM and video texture memory are the two equally important variables here.....

Video texture memory is a combination of your total video RAM and your shared video (as set and defined by your system, usually configurable in the BIOS). I have seen issues with video drivers affecting total available texture memory. Always be sure you have the latest drivers for your card.
