Hi Cash. I have only been playing around with running 2 XBMCs from 1 win7 machine and even mine didnt have super specs (4GB RAM, 2.4GHz C2D) it worked quite well actually.
Basically, you need to have your own compile of XBMC to remove the 1 instance limit on windows (totally pointless imho) from code. And then its totally up to you on how to share the DB/Thumbs between all the instances. I would do something like using MySQL and hard linking together all the addons/thumbnails dirs while keeping different data for each xbmc instance that is run towards a different portable data dir. Best of luck to you
