Two Users - But only 1 PC.

[DeXt0R]

I got a dual core 3.2 GHZ.
and a XFX 8600 GT gfx card.

Is it possible to run two different users on the same CPU?

Let me put it this way...
Is it possible to have two users working at the same time from the same PC?
Like 2 monitors, 2 mice, 2 keyboards.


I have heard its possible on linux but, i want windows.

^^You can connect 2 monitors to your rig. But im not sure if you can connect 2 keyboard, mice, etc.

you can do it with a reverse kvm swiitch

Thanks for the fast reply, but i know i can connect two monitors... ^.^

I need to have separate desktops on both the monitors...
Each with its different mouse and keyboard.


@slugger?
whats a kvm switch?
how much it costs and where can i get it?

Googling to find out what it is...

@slugger?
whats a kvm switch?

not a kvm switch - reverse kvm switch

if ur GPU does not support multiple monitor then you could buy this USB device that lets you attach another monitor @1024*768 with 16-bit color

Umm yea...
But will i be able to have two seperate working desktops on both the monitors?

Like one user will be using "application A" and another will be using "application B"

@DeXt0R:
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch

 

[slugger]

a KVM switch is used to control 2 computers from 1 keyboard/mouse/monitor

a reverss KVM switch will allow mulitple keyboard/mouse/monitor to control on computer

u migth even want to considder a dirt cheap thin client for your doual core comp

Umm i just dont want to coltrol the "Virtual Mouse" (Which can be seen on the screen) with two physical mice...

I need to work on seperate application...

Can i do that with reverse kvm switch?
