1 CPU 2 Moniters 2 WOW Accounts general question

[maceuz]

Hey guys I am new here so please excuse me. I have done some searching on the forum and haven't found much other than a program called octopus. Anyway here is my question and hopefully someone can point me in the correct direction.

I have a very good CPU and graphics card, 2 WoW accounts and 2 monitors both hooked up and working. My girlfriends CPU is a piece of crap and can not run wow well in the new expansion. What I am trying to do is run two clients of wow. One client on the secondary display and one client on the main display. What i need is to have one keyboard and mouse control client 1 on display 1 and have another keyboard and mouse control client 2 on display 2 without either one affecting the other client. I found a program called Teamplayer that allows multiple keyboard/mice but you still can only control 1 client at a time. If someone can point me in the right direction for software or something for this scenario I can figure it out from there. Thanks.

unfortunately i don't think you'll ever be able to have two mice on the same machine. how would it work, you'd need to see 2 cursors :-)
2 keyboards should not be a problem though i think, but out of the box you'll only have 1 window active, and all keyboard presses will be sent to the active window (be it wow1 on screen 1 or wow2 on screen2)

I asked a similar question earlier:

Hopefully the info there helps you out. You can certainly some SW tricks to get 2x kb to work, but 2 mice is a mess. I think in the end, it is easier just to upgrade the 2nd computer.
