The MAC address is an identifier for most network adapters. Although several Internet websites and manufacturers claim that it is not possible to change the MAC address. SMAC leaves the hardware MAC address alone but offers a software based way to change it which remains changed even after rebooting the computer.
SMAC protects the real MAC address on wireless networks and can be used by IT professionals to test Intrusion Detection Systems and analyze network problems. Changes become active immediately and can be tested with a link to the ipconfig tool. The Evaluation version has several limitations but can be freely downloaded.
It is for instance only possible to change the MAC address to “0C0C0C0C0C01″ which means that it is only possible to change one MAC address on your computer because it is not possible to have the same MAC address for more than one device.

oops sorry I mixed up the names of 2 blogs I read pretty frequently.
You CAN have same mac for 2 addresses. (atleast in Linux, and I am pretty sure in Windows). It will be somehting really fubar, but it is allowed. (Edit the registery and put the MAC address you want).
Best tool, write a script. use devcon to restart your interface and reg add/del to add what you want to the registery, it is so much easier to do when you have multiple macs you want to keep changing about in.
