I am wondering if it possible to run a computer with 2 monitors, each one capable of running a seperate web browser controlled by its own keyboard and mouse? Has anyone ever done this or know where I would need to go to get this to work. I have 4 monitor outs on my computer and 2 keyboards,1 usb and plenty of mice. any sugestions?
 
Hi,


I don't believe that's possible.


It's an interesting idea, and it would be fun to try it; but Windows would need to be changes dramatically to support two mice and two keyboards, each associated with their own monitor.

Get two computers and netwok them....

Linux can do this. Run independent X sessions for each head, and configure them to use a specific keyboard/mouse pair.

When both heads come from the same graphics chip, only one of them will have a hardware mouse cursor as well as 3D and video acceleration.

With separate graphics cards, this limitation will not happen.
 
You'd need some kind of 3rd-party software (or write some yourself) for Windows.

Unless you're running Windows inside a virtual machine on Windows, that doesn't make any sense. If you're running the OS natively, you can't run 2 at the same time.
