Is this possible?

[Trevelyan]

Ok, is there a way to have one computer run two or three monitors/keyboard/mouse setups at the same time?

The only thing they would be used for is surfing the web, and I don't want to buy three different computers to do this if its not neccessary. Is there some hardware to allow me to have three or so different desktops running seperately off of one machine?

Thanks...

This question was brought up recently by another member and the answer is no. Even though I would like to know how they did it in swordfish the movie.

Did they use this maybe?

I was gonna say the Jetway.

But AFAIK you can't do it with a "normal" PC.

Dang, how disappointing... anyone have any recommendations then in place of this setup?

Some video card softwares allow you to set up virtual desktops.

It's been done. HP sells a 4 User PC. This project has free Linux software that does the same thing. They basically use 4 video cards (1 AGP + 3 PCI) and 4 set of keyboard and mice (1 PS2 + 3 USB) in one PC. Pretty cool.

Oh, you actually want several people to use one computer? there was a company that made a card that had four Win terminal outputs (basically four monitors, mouses and kbds). Forgot the name, but that's probably what would work best. I think that there is a way to do the same with windows out there.
