I currently have 2 CPU's (my old one and a new custom one for the game) and have been sharing a keyboard, mouse, monitor, cable for both. Needless to say, I am getting tires of switching all 4 cables and rebooting my modem every time I switch back and forth (2 per day).
So, I am buying a cheap KVM switch for the monitor, keyboard, and mouse....no problem.
My only concern is with the switch. I currently do not have a router....so I can come off of that. I DONT need both computers to run at the same time....so, I think I need a SWITCH (low # of ports) right?
My other concern is that I don't want to inadvertantly slow down my gaming connection going through a switch! I have a cable broadband connection and my baud rate is very good - no problems currently with the game....
Would something like this work? What should I look for?
