How does the Jetway 2-user motherboard work??

[RU482]

link to Jetway 2 user boards

If I am reading correctly, two people can use one computer at the same time. Any idea how this thing (N2VIEW board, for instance) performs in a home office environment? For instance, if my wife and I both wanted to use the computer at the same time to surf the net. How about gaming?

just curious

Post links to reviews if you know of any...thanks!!

I read a blurb on either XBit Labs or the Inquirer to the effect that it uses WinXP's Fast User Switching to switch back and forth very, very fast so it seems like it's simultaneously handling two users, when in reality it alternates between them very quickly.

Gaming against another user, using the same system... dang, I'm getting flashbacks of Star Trek and their never-ending misadventures with the holodeck I wonder if the Enterprise's holodeck runs a future version of Windows, that might explain all the problems :evil:

Could be quite fun on a dual cpu board. One CPU handling one user and one for the other....
