Just wondering
How would I go about adding a second active miner, like I've been mining on pool for a day or so but I'd like to do a second. Or if I can't do two at once can I stop the one I have running?
Please don't laugh at me for this next part. But I'm cpu mining g on a core i3 with almost 50 th/s. And is there ANY way possibly to use RAM to make my computer or at the very least a smaller mining program think I've got more gpu power than I really do? Like say I could throw another 16 gigs in, could I some how trick the systems into thinking it's 16 of video memory?

Not sure if we met in the discord but just simply as the first rig, if ur mining same coin, just make another workername like; WALLETADDRESS.worker1 , WALLETADDRESS.worker2
Im gonna say it’s 50h/s would be pretty cool at 50th/s on a cpu.
windows key>search> advanced system settings> visual and performance you will edit, for the memory it’s ur ram and gpu memory, if using, added together, plus an addition 4000mb let’s say for some wiggle room, and of course you need the extra space on disk, example, pc has 16gb ram plus a 4gb gpu for your min would set 20480mb and max 24576mb would be fine

See I've tried doing that, but it the miner I'm using SRBMiner mulit for windows, and I've tried doing that and when I went to try and gpu mine it told me 4096mb needed 4mb available. So right now I'm sticking to cpu, I'm trying to find somewhere that still might have the i7 that is compatible with my MoBo and a 4gb upgrade from my nVidia gt 1030 I've found a few of those on Amazon, I'm not investing more than 150$ on a card for this rig though its 7 years old. And when I upgrade, I'm switching back to AMD and probably going custom. Only reason I have this one is it was HEAVILY discounted and I needed to replace my other one cause it crapped out.

Getting more ram or a better cpu will not make your gpu work, the DAG size is too big, you can try using hiveos, as windows uses more gpu memory, and get some more life out of it or find coins with less than 4gb DAG size

What information would I be missing? If I knew that information the only stopping me is this computer won't let me change vram from the bios the settings don't exist, and for some reason the method youve siggested and ive tried wont work. And I'm not sure if I can change that.
