Default Multi-Boxing

Hi,

I used to play 6 characters on EQEmu on a single machine using EQplaynice/normal EQ window on PEQ about a year ago. The specs I think were roughly: E6600, 3GB Ram 666mhz pc6400, 8800GTS 320mb.

I've now come back with a better machine, and it seems when I load 3 characters, I can't even get a 4th to load. I'm using WINEQ this time around since it has EQPlayNice embedded into it. When I load the 4th character, I try loading him to world and it just hangs then eventually just closes the window with no error message. The specs on this machine are: E8600, 4GB Ram 1066mhz pc8500 (3.5 cause of XP), and ATI 4870. This machine should surely be able to handle 6 still?

Sometimes after trying to load a 4th I get some graphical like errors, for example an icon going all multi colored/purple, or models turning white/black. So I tested my GFX Card for Artifacts using ATI Tool at stock speeds which I run it at anyway, tested for about 4 hours and nothing. Tested one stick of ram 4 hours again and nothing. I will test the other stick later, but does anyone else have any ideas what it could be?
