Can you connect two seperate computers to both the dsub and dvi connectors and toggle between the two? Or is there a restriction that you can only hook up to one or the other connection?

You should be able to hook up 1 PC to each connection and just toggle. I have hooked up my Xbox to the S-video and it works that way. Essentially the same idea for a PC cept with the d-sub.

Yes, I have done this... I think it was on my 2005, but if it wasn't it was on my 2405. Either way it will work.

As others have posted, yes you can switch between them (it takes a second or two to switch). The only limitation is that you can't Picture-in-picture or Picture-by-Picture with the D-SUB and DVI, only one or the other in combination with o ne the other two inputs-composite and s-video.
