Do you think it really is so bad to run more then one antivirus on a very high end computer?

I'm not sure since I never tries it myself since I don't own a "high end super fast and expensive" computer with 16GB or more of RAM and multiple Quad core CPUs.

But, I know it will slow down my slower computer if I run multiple antiviruses and firewalls at the same time.

I never really seen anyone with a very high end and fast computer run multiple antiviruses and antispyware, and download tons of viruses and see if their multiple AV stop it compared to only using one.

I just read the boxes and staff members and reviewers for Antiviruses which said you should never run more then one firewall or antivirus at a time, but I never seen someone actually test how effective a single antivirus running is vs a computer with multiple antivirus installed by seeing if it can stop viruses from being installed on a PC.

Like will Norton a lone be able to stop all the viruses, or Norton running a long side AVG and Avast will stop more viruses.

No. They will just conflict, and they won't do anything but make things worse.. especially when you have Norton, and the fact that they have more false positives than legitimate results in their scans.

all I know is, running bleach bit, a spyware program, a anti virus program, and a malware program at the same time will freeze your computer.
