Sounds like you need a second render dedicated machine or just
install Linux.  For the last 5 days I've been rendering 2 large
animations and one high quality still all at the same time, while
reading my news, installing and compiling new software, ripping and
encoding mp3s, the multitasking is superb, shame my modem stuffed up
so I couldn't send or receive any news or mail untill rebooting last
night, (a friend has found me an old external modem Yipee).
