2 mages serious synch issues using multibox and keyclone

So I did some testing on 2 mages using just the keyclone program. I used 800x600 res for both. I was having lots of sync issues they were getting separated every 5-10 seconds of running and turning around. I tried using multibox and separate computers same issues though.

I am trying to minimize sync lag or figure a way i can play effiecently with it.
I want to use 1 computer and 1 monitor. I am really trying to get this to work so I can start 2 manning instances with my 70 feral druid and 70 holy priest.

2.8Ghz Pentium 4 w/ hyper threading
1GB memory (can upgrade if needed)
NVidia GeForce 6800 Graphics Card
19" LCD 1280x1024 res (800x600 for games)
OS: XP OEM only Wow running nothing else at all.

I am not using follow but i have tried it. I did this ->

I made key 6 do
/assist character1
and key 7 do
/follow character1

In order to get the other character to attack with me i would hit 6 twice
then I would loot and hit 7 twice again for the character to follow me.

It seems tedious to do this everytime do you think I need more practice?

also I seen people with 5+ accounts accounts 1 lead and 4 followers. They hit a button and then all the accounts spread out perfectly before nuking a target down how is that done?

sorry I'm a pretty big nub and I'm stuck at work trying to figure this all out so when i go home I am ready to go.

Thank you, I'll try it that way. Also I plan on reinstalling XP over my linux tonight (since wow runs kind of bad in OpenGL mode) when I install WOW again do you think it would be good to make 2 different wow directories.
like C:\Wow1
and C:\wow2

keyclone

to address the following issue...

when you position your clones... no matter how precise you line them up, they will never be EXACTLY on the same heading. even if they are off by 1 degree, after a short while, their paths will diverge.

the only proper solution is to use /follow for the clones

I 3 box and have one main wow directory (for raiding/pvp on my main char) and 3 other directories for my 3 box (4 directories total). This makes it nice because you can have different settings on each character.
