WoW is old, its system requirements are a joke these days. Multiboxing raises the stakes...but mainly with respect to CPU cores, memory space, and graphics pipelines. Anything quad-core is ample for the first, anything around or above 8GB is ample for the second (well, DDR2 or newer), and anything midrange or better should be ample for the third.

Oh, and a 24" or 26" monitor is awesome. And a comfy/responsive mouse. And a durable keyboard (I <3 mechanicals).
Mid range graphics cards are OK? What about UALAA talking about GPU bottlenecking for 5boxing etc?
