Can I set up a remote desktop app on my MBP running snow leopard to display my XP PC? (IE not another mac but a PC)

Also I want to dock my MBP and link it to an Apple 30" display.

Bottom line question, will I be able to view my XP desktop on the 30" that is plugged into my MBP?

(Jeez, headbuster. ^^ Hope that makes sense :] )

But are you planning to run games and such or just control the machine? Probably won't work but for using day to day stuff works great.

Also fully remote over the internet - Team viewer
TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet

Third choice - Synergy - Keyboard Mouse sharing - not quite what you asked for but another option - and how I control my machines when I am at my desk
