Yes run SetiDriver and set it to run 2 processes at one time.
They both run from the same directory and you don't have the "issues"
you are speaking about.

If you are running two copies of Seti on a HT Pentium, I believe that they
are seen by Windows
as being two separate images, since you have to run each one in its own
directory.
This means that they use two separate chunks of cache memory, leading to
potentially lower perfomance if the cache gets full.
Has anyone found a way of letting Windows know that you want to use two
copies of the /same/
program, therefore allowing both copies to share cache memory contents where
appropriate?
I tried, using a "shortcut" to the first .exe file for the second instance
of Seti, without success.
