Here's my potential rig:


- Running a Mac Pro.
- 2 Hard Drives:
1) Snow Leopard on first drive
2) Windows 7 on second drive
- 2 24" Apple LED Cinema Displays


So here's my question...is there a way I can have both OS's running at the same time, with Snow Leopard on the left monitor and Windows 7 on the right monitor, all running out from one computer rig (Mac Pro)?

I've heard of ppl using Synergy to run dual monitors with dual computers and sharing one keyboard and mouse. I want to do the same EXCEPT run it all out of 1 computer.

Any advice, suggestions, critiques?

Thanks!

Not possible natively..you can run Snow Leopard on the Mac and then run Windows 7 inside VMWare/Parallels/VirtualBox and shove that onto a second monitor..
