Unless you want to use any sort of graphics related apps.
Seriously though KVMs suck IMO and cause more hassle than they solve.
hum… what does Start > Run > mstsc do?
well i was going to have one comp for gaming and one comp for engineering software that i need my tablet for…
mstsc is remote desktop, essentially using a LAN connection in lieu of a kvm. to my knowledge it sucks if you’re using graphics-intensive applications. major design flaw imho.
i don’t really know kvms well, so don’t listen to me for advice on brand names
what i did this past semester is my monitor will toggle dvi / vga so i did that for video, and for keyboard, mouse, and accessories i had a usb hub that i moved back and forth with usb keyboard and mouse, etc… to make the switch quicker i had a usb cable to each computer and just changed which one was plugged into the hub.

hmmm… my monitor isn’t leet and is only VGA (i believe) so transferring that cable from station to tower would be a pain in that scenario…

Why not install the engineering software on the gaming computer?

Why not install the engineering software on the gaming computer?because retarded Virginia tech makes us buy 2.5k dollar tablet PCs and then goes and finds OBSCURE programs that require the tablet function.
programs that are CPU intensive may be ending up on the gaming computer, but they require that we use the tablet function for many EngE, ISE, and ESM classes which we take through out our career here.
