yes, you can run multiple desktops. It's called a dual boot. There are many of them. There is also a version of Linux called Knoppix that will boot from a cd.

laptop and desktop?..\n\ngoto network connection properties of both computers, enter IP address and subnet mask on both computers to the same subnet and use a 'cross over' cable to connect both. And yes, better if they are in the same workgroup!

in theory running two sound cards is possible on any machine as long as they dont conflict with each other on the various resources, ie the i/o range and the irq you can check and set these via the control panel of windows, not sure about linux though.

I'd read somewhere, can't place the source, that 8 monitors is the limit on a deskop pc. That is subject to you getting 4 display card's each supporting 2 monitors.

You can access the "shared" desktop by accessing\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;All Users&#92;Desktop (only if you're the Administrator) and then copy onto your desktop.

You can to a point plug one to another back and forth.  The problem lies in the fact that after so many times, it forgets that there was a KB or a mouse and will nto work forcng a reboot.  A better solution is to use what is called a KVM switch which apopropriately stands for Kyeboard Video Mouse Switch.  It allows anywhere from 2 to 16 machines per one KB or Mouse.  Of course the number of systems depend on the KVM...  Some KVMs ina server environ can actually be stacked so each 16 port KVM can in fact be plugged into another 16 port KVM giving that many more machines to one KB and mouse.\n\nAnother solution I use at home for this is a headless machine.  Basically i install Real VNC onto the system and setup the server service to run,  Then on any other machine I have I use Real VNC Viewer to log into the machine remotely and do what I need to do.  This is great for doing simple thing and not for graphics work though...  Graphics or game design is best for KVM.

You can, but you are limiting the performance.  Make sure they are both the same type and they work in the same frequency(PC2700, PC3200 etc)\n\nBattery Wizard

If you just need 2 PC to show the same data (i.e. files), have you considered File Sharing and Briefcase options in Windows?\nThey could work this out.

Remote Desktop overviewWith Remote Desktop on Windows XP Professional, you can have access to a Windows session that is running on your computer when you are at another computer. This means, for example, that you can connect to your work computer from home and have access to all of your applications, files, and network resources as though you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and when you get home, you can see your desktop at work displayed on your home computer, with the same programs running. \n\nWhen you connect to your computer at work, Remote Desktop automatically locks that computer so no one else can access your applications and files while you are gone. When you come back to your computer at work, you can unlock it by typing CTRL+ALT+DEL.\n\nRemote Desktop also allows more than one user to have active sessions on a single computer. This means that multiple users can leave their applications running and preserve the state of their Windows session even while others are logged on.\n\nWith Fast User Switching, you can easily switch from one user to another on the same computer. For example, suppose you are working at home and have logged on to the computer at your office to update an expense report. While you are working, a family member needs to use your home computer to check for an important email message. You can disconnect Remote Desktop, allow the other user to log on and check mail, and then reconnect to the computer at your office, where you see the expense report exactly as you left it. Fast User Switching works on standalone computers and computers that are members of workgroups.\n\nRemote Desktop enables a variety of scenarios, including:\n\nWorking at home - Access work in progress on your office computer from home, including full access to all local and remote devices. \nCollaborating - Bring your desktop to a colleague's office to debug some code, update a Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation, or proofread a document. \nSharing a console - Allow multiple users to maintain separate program and configuration sessions on a single computer, such as at a teller station or a sales desk. \nTo use Remote Desktop, you need the following:\n\nA computer running Windows XP Professional ("remote" computer) with a connection to a Local Area Network or the Internet. \nA second computer ("home" computer) with access to the Local Area Network via network connection, modem, or Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. This computer must have Remote Desktop Connection, formerly called the Terminal Services client, installed. \nAppropriate user accounts and permissions\n\n\nTo set up this computer to use Remote Desktop\nOpen System in Control Panel. \nOn the Remote tab, select the Allow users to connect remotely to this computer check box. \nEnsure that you have the proper permissions to connect to your computer remotely, and click OK. You must be an administrator or a member of the Remote Desktop Users group on your computer.\n\nTo allow other users to connect to your computer\nOpen System in Control Panel. \nClick the Remote tab. \nIn the Remote Desktop area, click Select Remote Users.... \nOn the Remote Desktop Users dialog box, click Add.... \nOn the Select Users dialog box, click Locations... to specify the search location. \nClick Object Types... to specify the types of objects you want to search for. \n\n\n\nTo install Remote Desktop Connection (32-bit computers)\nOn the computer running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, insert the Windows XP Professional compact disc into your CD-ROM drive. \nWhen the Welcome page appears, click Perform additional tasks, and then click Set up Remote Desktop Connection. \nFollow the directions that appear on your screen. \n\n\nIn the Enter the object names to select (examples): box, type the names of the objects you want to search for. \nClick Check Names. \nWhen the name is located, click OK.

If the video card allows, you could get two monitors and put one application on one screen and the other on the other screen to make it easier to see. You can have as many windows active as your processor and memory can handle.

You can use RealVNC. This program will allow you complete desktop control of any PC on your shop lan. No adware either! I use it to watch my home lan and control my PC cams.
