Re: Want to setup two Computers with~

I noticed from another posting here that the 30" monitor has a higher
resolution, like 2560x1600 or so. If that's the case, you'll need to use a
Dual Link DVI video card, and I don't know of any KVMs for those. If you're
running a standard VGA (even up to 1920x1200), then you can easily find a
KVM to handle it. And it seems some do audio too...

Thanks all.

I do not want games on this machine as the grandchildren like to play
PC games and I "do not" have internet set up on older dell XPS Gen
2 <grin>. Also have two young great grand kids that will be using
computer before long I think. Just now they play with the PS2.

Will await further developments from "Dana".
Again thanks to each reply.

If you're running VGA, sure...we use them here at work, where most of the
developers have them, running 1920x1200. I'll go check but I think we all
use Black Box KVMs.

Are there any KVM's that support the resolution of the 30" . I've never
seen one.

The keyboard, mouse, and monitor is no problem, just buy a USB KVM
switch. A 2 port one is probably around $30.

I believe there are several made with audio as well, those probably
cost twice as much. I never used one with audio so I don't know if they
just support stereo or you can get them with 5.1, etc. connections.

This newer machine has WinXP SP2 Media and my older machine has WinXP
SP2.

Want to utilize both computers using the same Dell 30" Monitor \
keyboard \Mouse
and existing sound system.

Old machine for 'Gaming' and new one for Home Office.

Is this a possibility? Also is it an expensive possibility?

Thanks for reading and hopefully replying.
