Hi,

how many Memory and CPU power you Need is dependent on the work the six instances have to do. You can look how many RAM and % CPU your sqlservr.exe currently need. I would recommend to use a SSD, this brings in most cases more Speed than CPU power.

You can configure the max an min Memory usage of each instance with the SQL Server Management Studio. Just connect to the instance, right click on the instance (for example (local)\instance1) and select properties.
