[QUOTE="MadSkillzMan, post: 143496, member: 10439"] ok guys check this, i garbage picked a 20" sony trinitron, HD ready VGA monitor. Theres inputs for VGA and RGBHDVD. So, i plugged my mac into RGB (since i garbage picked a monitor with the VGA to RGB cable) then i grabed my old VGA to VGA. I ran it to my friends crappy celeron to fix it up. Its so awesome, push of a button im back in windows...well i dont wanna use windows, but the point is i can use 2 computers on 1 monitor, kind of a built in KVM switch, minus the keyboard and mouse. So iim sure youve guessed, yup, i want to know, if i can use my mac mouse and keyboard, on the windows machine when i switch over to it. my mouse is a 5 button belkin, and the standard mac keybaord. The computers i plan on using all support USB mouse/keyboard, so im guessing that maybe i could do a Y splitter? corse then again whatever i type in one would type in the other and that could suck..hmm.. Id rather it be whenever i switch over, the others kick in. thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
