to partition your hard drive and run two copies of
your OS. When you 
run two copies of MS simultaneously, they both
want to write to the 
same temp files and the same registry and if that
happens in the same 
nanosecond you've got a problem. Eventually your
system will crash, 
and it maybe a hard crash. If you partition the
hard drive you don't 
have to worry about the processors as long as you
can boot two OS's 
at once. Some systems can handle that and some
can't. I use Win 2000 
for exactly that reason. 

I ran two copies of MS when I first got it. I ran
one EOD and one 
intraday. I was able to keep those two from
killing each other but 
two copies of intraday would have blown my system
up. As it was, I 
had to edit the registry periodically. 

MS looks for other copies of MS before it boots,
so that's another 
issue. 

Rather than run two copies of MS at the same time,
I have multiple 
monitors and I run MS and Active Trader Pro at the
same time. I keep 
large groups of watchlist stocks on ATP. I scan
them using simple 
indicators like MAs and then when I find stocks
I'm interested in I 
open them in MS with my system. ATP tracks my
trades and MS keeps my 
TA current.

I have a 2 mips pipeline and sometimes that's not
fast enough to keep 
up with MS, ATP and my ECNs. When Esignal hicups
the system can get 
out of balance really quickly.
