Question Hook up to monitor
I bought a new computer with Vista and I have a computer with Xp My question is: Is it possible to hook the two computers to one monitor and be able to run one computer at a time.

Yeah, you can get a monitor splitter.

I've used ones made by belkin which you plug the monitor, mouse and keyboard into, and at the press of a button on the splitter it switches between the 2 computers.

Edit:

Heres a link to the thing you need, it's on Belkins website, so you'll have to find a reseller.
