Can two people use the same PC simultaneously?

[rogor]

Assuming there were two monitors and a vid card with dual outputs. I mean both viewing different content. This is with Windows XP pro sp2. It would just be two people sitting at a desk side by side.

Or is it only possible by having 3 machines, one as a server and two as clients with user accounts. Thanks for any tips.

I've never used these, but they're apparently designed just for that purpose- called a reverse KVM-

Those just allow two keyboards and two mice to be used.

This is what you're thinking of.

Sure but only one controls the text moving

I'm sorry to be the practical one here, but with computer/component prices as low as they are today, why bother? Just build two systems.

Looks like the KVM thing doesn't allow for ppl to use the pc at the same time. And the Jetway twin would mean a whole new machine. I gues it's not possible with existing hardware. I wanted to make it work without buying a new machine. Thanks for the info.
