dazdot Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I will try to describe what i mean. Is there such a thing as a home pc that can have 2 monitors, each with a different program running on them, that are controlled by 2 input devices (mice). Basically, can i (with 2 monitors on my pc) surf the web, while my wife does whatever she does on the pc, using seperate mice/keyboards? Don't know if i worded that right or not, but i'm sure you will let me know if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I know what you mean, but I don't think that is possible. You can plug in more than one mouse, and keyboard, but they will just control the same PC, no matter how many monitors you have. Unless there is some clever software you can obtain, or run MS Virtual OS (not cheap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmj Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 A few years back, there was such hardware available, but it was expensive and obviously the PC is working twice as hard. With PC's so cheap, just buy another? Or have a laptop and a wireles connection, much more flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skifly Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 it is possible and is still hanging around on some mobo's but i think the review was rather critical of it and gave it a bit of a slating - esp when you needed two licenses for xp! As mmj mentioned its probably a lot cheaper to get 2 pc's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
