    I'm planning on installing Vista to my current rig and building a second XP based PC with some old s939 components I had lying around so the family wouldn't get confused with Vista :rolleyes:

    Anyway I was thinking I could use a KVM switch for quick changing between the two but now I'm after realising this could be very expensive if I want to get a switch capable of supporting my dual 20.1" monitors. I can't make any sense of the KVM here section on Komplett.ie? Does anyone know where I could get a cheap switching solution? I've thought about just doing a dual boot but thats not really ideal considering the time it would take to reboot.

    Unfortunately Bob is not my mothers brother because I would actually need 3 vga to DVI adapters because both of the gfx cards I'll be using only have 2 x DVI ports. 2 of the adapters would also have to be VGA to 2 x DVI like this

    Actually the more I'm thinking about it the more I just could not be ars*d. If I was just using a single monitor it would be grand but the whole dual setup makes it far too much effort.
