start the first account incase that is the BB account or whatever

press enter and type /clientsleep background

then alt+tab back to windows and start the second and alt+tab between when you need to do some buffs

Are you running 2x Darkness Rising clients? If so you might want to consider turning off the catacombs models (can do this in character selection screen) or run the ToA client instead.
This is what i do to run 2x ToA clients fine in rvr on my shitty old PC.
  • Run both accounts in windowed mode (you can do that through options on the character selection screen).
  • Turn the resolution to a lower setting (you probably dont need to do this looking at your PC spec, but if you want you can do this through options on the character selection screen)
  • Turn off water effects, shadows and all other fancy effects (again character selection screen)
  • On the bot account type /clientsleep b and /effects none. Also if im in rvr, i leave her in another keep rather than the main portal keep. Put the bot in first person view (press f11 to change between views), and face the wall.
  • On the account i am using to fight in rvr i type /effects self.
  • You can also set priority to "background tasks" on the task manager, but again you probably dont need to do this
All this makes the game slightly less pretty, and you probably dont need to do most of it becuase your PC is a lot better than mine ;p.

Ok so 5500 Aura is a single core amd rite, going from memory...
generally the AMD 64s are quite good with dual logging, so try putting one /clientsleep and setting ram useage to minimum, both of which have already been mentioned, otherwise with that system two accounts should fly
