So i have a fairly decent gaming computer with onboard intel graphics and a radeon 7870ghz edition installed in my computer. I have a friend over and i was wondering if it were somehow possible to basically split the computer into two parts?? for example: him using the onboard graphics surfing the web or something. and me on a seperate monitor, playing a game or something? hook up two keyboards and two mice? pretty much splitting the computer into two? haha. it sounds stupid but if there is a way to do this, can you let me know what its called so i can do more research on it. or let me know how? thanks!

you could install vmware or VituralBox and run windows in that move it to the second moniter then plug in a second mouse and keyboard map them in the VM to use the second ones through the VMhost and not the primary ones and see what happens.there is some psoftware for this as well [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
