I looked up the 'Power of 2' special offer and im interested in it for a later time, as it seems to be a popular choice (6 months of game time for about €50 is quite generous).

But I have a few questions about it: When I do get such an offer, will the other account be able to use the same e-mail that I currently use on my main account? Or would I have to aquire a secondary e-mail account in order to use it?

When I have the Power of 2... am I able to run two EVE programs at the same time, yet with differing accounts logged in? Or do I need a special program to accomplish this? And is this frowned upon or not by the community?

You only need one email and you can run both at the same time with no need for anything special. Some people do separate installation and stuff but for normal needs you don't even need that.

That is good. Which makes things alot more easier.

But I hope my computer is enough to run two instances at the same time.

I run an Intel Core i5-2310 CPU @ 2.9 GHz and have 8 GB of Memory. My graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560.

Your computer will run 2 (or 10) clients just fine.

I used to run 3.5 (3 open, 1 minimized) clients on a 2007 Macbook Pro with integrated graphics. EVE is not particularly resource intensive.

Your computer is considerably more powerful than mine, and I can comfortably run 2 clients simultaneously.

I do recommend that you turn graphics settings down while dualboxing, however. The times that put your computer hardware to the test playing EVE are the times you most need immediate reactions - fleet fights, and your own ship exploding. I lost one pod once to lagging after losing my ship, but this hasn't repeated since I dropped down my graphics settings.
