Guys,
I was going to build the GF a PC this summer to get her into WoW, but I had an epiphany.....
Why not utlize 100% of my Q6600 upgrade, and get 2 monitors, 2 keyboards, 2 mice and two WoW's apps running at the same time, on ONE PC!
I've got the hardware. I could even get a 8800GTS and slot it in, giving her monitor a dedicated card. I've got multiple USB ports so a dual mouse/keyboard combo shouldnt be a prob. I just need software!
I know this can be done, and I need your guys creativity and help to finally get this right! (if I can get the GF into gaming, it will be so much fun and I can spend more time doing what I love vs watching another musical, LOL)
I found this article. http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/06/microsoft-researching-split-screen-desktop-software/
I have to figure out how we can split the Windows OS layout page onto two different screens, and allocate a mouse and keyboard to each screen. Then you can get two users for one PC, running multiple apps at the same time, independently.
Please point me in the right direction to solve this prob. If you guys can help me out with this, then THG would have found a life long member. Rock on!
