Guys, i've 2 systems lying at my disposal at home..one is my current E6300+msi P965 neo based system, and another one is an older P4 3.0 Ghz+Asus P4p800 based system...the problem is i sold off the monitor of the older system to a friend but kept the system as a backup..it also has a 120 gb hdd which i use as a backup drive..

I want to use the older system alongwith the newer system but utilize my current monitor only...how do i do it?? i have come across this link which has a switch which does exactly what i want...but do u think something like this is available in india, more specifically, mumbai?

If your monitor has a DVI and VGA port, you don't even need that switch, that's how I use it - with one PC on each port.

Hi,

If you really don't want to spend money, use VNC softwares like UltraVNC.

Otherwise, KVM switches are available at Lamington Rd. for around Rs.1500/-

think this helps....
