Just make sure you have a file named user.cfg in your SWG installation directory and include the following lines:
[SwgClient]
allowMultipleInstances=true
This will allow you to launch two at the same time..

I only have 512MB of RAM. Of course it lags in heavy populated areas. How much would another 512MB cost me?

I started with 512 400pc ram later a added another 512, I still get some lag running around star ports and loading the second in can sometimes take ages.

I don't know about this command. Please do tell. And how does it help. Thanks

Personally I went from 512 to 1.5 to 2 gigs andeverything over 1 gig works lovely..with 2 gigs you can have both accounts in cnet and switch back and forth a few times not having to worry about client crashes. Trust it still happens but with 2 gigs and using the graphics flush command every so often it works great.
As to the "nerf" of running 2 clients at the same time...it's not a nerf its a side effect of the bits technology as far as my research has uncovered.
I was having mucho problemos with 2 clients after I enabled bits here is a good posting of my findings along with other peoples.

Here is a great post with a ton of good macro's for all kinds of things...but what we are talking about is the very first one. How i use it is by just putting the command in a macro then putting it in my toolbar so i can hit it every once in a while to improve my speed.
Hope it helps
