The memory requirement for mining ProtoShares is 12GB? Is it lower if you only mine on two cores?

Approximately additional 768MB per core - the GUI has an option to mine up to 4 (3 on win32 because of memory limitations), you can set it to more in the debug console (setgenerate true 8), but don't expect linear performance gains per core.
You can check the performance using 'getmininginfo' - there is a 'hashespermin' reading, which will have useful data after about 4 minutes or so.
It's possible you'll get better performance by running multiple instances of the client, rather than multiple processes in the same client, but the real performance gains are to be made with code optimization. There's a reasonably good algorithm in there, but poor memory access/threading.

Is there quick way to run multi instances; say change in config file, or should i make a script for it? thank you!

bytemaster:
Right now memory usage scales with cores that you throw at it. This was done to avoid synchronization issues between cores and because it is the best FreeMind could come up with by the launch date.
There is a huge opportunity for developers to optimize the mining algorithm and in theory only 1 GB is ever needed. That said, the default client will support 4 cores and 3.5 GB of RAM.
