Grab a quad core CPU, it makes a lot more sense to proof up for the future ;-)

4GB RAM and an 8800GT is what we generally recommend for 5 boxing on a single machine.

Setup your main so his instance is on cores 0 and 2, then setup the alts so they are on cores 1 and 3.

Regards.
Note: If you have the first gen quad (ala Q6600 you want to keep the instances on the pairs of cores, 0 and 1 and 2 and 3 respectively. The early quad cores were really just double dual cores, and each of the core pairs communicates better between themselves than with the other pair.

I have my main instance on 0,1 and all of the 4 alts on 2,3.
