Transform your dual-monitor PC into a dual-station PC!

Today’s computers are powerful, fast and cheaper. Hard drives capacity are huge, some makers actually offers a Tera byte of storage in a single drive. Computer memories has blown from then standard 256MB to a whooping 1GB, for some they even go as high as 4GB. More importantly, the industry offers better processor. The processor today normally has two cores, you can even have four cores in a single chip.

What does this mean? As computers get fast, instructions are executed in a shorter span of time leaving our computers sit idle waiting for another instruction to be executed. In fact, on a normal usage, computers sit idle more than 90% of the time.

Computers have become so powerful that when we transform a single PC into a dual-station PC that can support two users at the same time, they would not need to worry performance issues.

Users will have their own screen, sounds, keyboard and mouse. They can browse the web, read and send emails, do office work, and even play games!

How? With Groovix Simultaneous Local Independent Multiple-User Technology or SLIM. SLIM is:

• Simultaneous: more than one person can use the computer at the same time
• Local: everything is plugged directly into one machine, no network is necessary
• Independent: each user has control of their own monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers
• Multi-User: two or more users on one machine

Groovix systems are the only open source commercially available systems in the world that fully support simultaneous local independent multiple users with distinct sound and 3D video.

The SLIM approach only requires extra video cards, sound cards, keyboards and mice for additional users. Because they are all directly plugged into one box, each user experiences full performance.

What if you don’t want to use SLIM. There’s another one. Userful. Userful offer a free 2-User Edition.
