You can do this by going through the forum creation process and inputting exactly the same information as before, except for the table prefix. If you selected the default table prefix for your database tables when you created the first forum, use a non-default table prefix when you create your second forum. This should be the only thing you need to do.

this kind of thing has nothing to do with internet connection speeds.

ADSL versus 56K etc.

why do you think a second forum would load any faster or be any easier for people on slow connections to read.

Because!!!

Why this question? the problem isn't of to think or not to think, the problem is here.

a friend have a low connection and have too much time for see the pages.

I think at all the people when have a low connection.

I understand that it takes a long time to load pages with a slow connection.

however, installing a different board will not make it any faster.

you can install a different style on the same board, that way the pages will load faster for people on slow connections.

http://www.phpbb.com/styles/forum/index.php?style=304
or maybe this one:
http://jupix.info/phpBBlite/

installing a new , separater board will not do what you want to do.

I must disagree with Lumpy. The load times on dialup are annoyingly long, especially if you want to do more than one thing at a time on 56k. I suspect he may be thinking of something else, like how long the database takes to retrieve the information, which would certainly take the same amount of time regardless of connection.

I would recommend against two forum installations using the same database information because you will need to keep two installations up-to-date to make sure they both access the database in exactly the same way.

The best solution for you is probably one forum installation that has a low-bandwidth use feature. I believe SMF can detect when its being read by a mobile device, but that's all I'm relatively sure of. phpBB can be modded to do low-bandwidth too. Search the mods for some keywords or "mobile" or something. Unfortunately I don't have any experience trying to optimize my boards for dialup connections or mobile devices so I'm afraid I can't offer any specific solutions.
