you might strugle with only a 1.3gig processor, on my main pc it handles 2 accounts fine because the p4 processor it acts as 2 processor, with my spare pc its a amd 2800 i have to set the memory performance to background managed.

Sounds like my last PC
I started bot account first, in window mode (800x600), all gfx effects such as spells etc off, clip pane near etc, all names off and clientsleep to minimised

Then I loaded up main account (from a diff instal directory) in fulscreen mode, alt-tabbed, buffed up and away I went.

I would usually alt-tab every 20mins or so to bot account just to move him.

Click start button /run and type 'regedit' to open up the registry editor...

Assuming u use XP operating system navigate through folders as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
PriorityControl

Then double click Win32PrioritySeperation

ITS IMPORTANT AT THIS STAGE YOU MAKE A NOTE OF THE CURRENT SETTINGS DISPLAYED IN THIS WINDOW SO U CAN CHANGE THEM BACK IF NECESSARY!

Now change the settings to 'Decimal' and enter the 'Value Data' as 29.

Apparantly the best settings for this are between 29-31. Personally I havent tried 30 and 31 because it worked perfectly for me with the value set to 29.

However u can play about with these values (between 29 & 31) and see which works best for u. (Don't worry if the values have been converted back to hexadecimal when u come to change them, this is normal).

Hope this helps m8, I had exactly the same problem as u describe and ever since I did this i have been able to run 2 accounts perfectly :)

P.s. If it doesnt work change the settings back to their original values.
