Simple question: what Arcane PrCls advance the "spells" of 2 arcane classes simultaneously? I know there is one that advances a spontaneous caster and a "memorizer" simultaneously- the Archmage?- but are there others?

Complete Mage p.77- Ultimate Magus.
This is the only PrC I know of that does what you are asking.
In a similar flavor, Expanded Psionics Handbook p.141 has Cerebromancer, progressing Psionic class and Arcane class, pulling off something similar with Psion/Wizard.
Complete Mage p.58 has the Eldrich Thurge, progressing Warlock and Wizard, also a similar flavor but not exactly what yoiu're asking.

Actually, with the exception of the Cerebromancer, you're giving me exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for. I just want to see which PrCls bump 2 arcane classes- ANY 2 arcane classes- simultaneously, and the UM & ET do just that.
...and thanks for the correction on Ultimate Magus.

Well since you said warlock stuff was ok here's some useful information that may greatly expand your options. Taken from Complete Arcane pg 18. " Warlocks benefit in a specific way from prestige classes that have a '+1 level of existing arcane spellcaster class' or a '+1 level of existing spellcasting class' as a level advancement benefit. A worlock taking levels in such a sprestige class does not gain any of his class abilities but he does gain an increased caster level when using his invocations and increased damage with his eldritch blast. Levels of prestice classes the proved a +1 leve of spellcasting effectively stack with the warlock's level to determine is eldrith blast damage (treat his combined caster level as his warlock class level when looking at Table 1-1: The Warlock to determine eldritch blast damage) and his eldritch blast caster level (half his total caster level from his warlock levels and his levels in a prestige class that grant him an increased spellcasting level). A warlock also gains new invocations known at these prestige class levels as though he had gained a level in the warlock class.
A warlock cannot qualify for prestige classes with spellcasting level requirements, as he never actually learns to cast spells. However, prestige classes with caster level requirements, such as the acolyte of the skin, are well suited to the warlock. A warlock's caster level for his invocations fulfills this requirement."
While its not quite a perfect fit to what you are looking for I hope it helps.

Thanks!
ultimate magus is excellent, augment casting allows for meta magic on the fly and gives a hell of a lot of spell levels, and the +4 caster levels are excellent.
i don't know much about warlocks, but i am pretty sure those Prestige Classes are the only 2 that progress 2 arcane casting classes at once.
i know for a fact there is no other class that progresses spontaneous casting and prepared like the UM does.

Oh, it wouldn't have to be progressing both prepared and spontaneous, it could be 2 preparers (if such exist), 2 spontaneous, or whatever- I'm just looking for arcane PrCls that advance the casting of 2 arcane classes simultaneously...ANY kind of mix.

Fwiw, the Complete Arcane errata redefined eldritch blast's equivalent spell level to no longer be a function of the warlock's caster level:

I'm ignorant on the feat that allows a Paladin to cast arcane spells.
Any chance a Paladin/Wizard/Mystic Thurge could progress in 2 Arcane spell lists with that feat?
