Can I hook two computers to a single LCD monitor? One using the DVI port the other the analog port. Only one computer will be on at a time.

It should work perfectly. You can keep both PCs on at once but you'll only be able to use the monitor on one at a time.

you can actually use BOTH monitors if your monitor supports PIP and/or PBP like my 2005FPw does

Does the 2005 do PiP using the DVI and VGA as the sources? My 2001 only is able to do PiP with either DVI or VGA and the PiP being composite or s-video....
