I don't have a clue about your webcam problem, however you can use a KVM switch to run two PCs from one monitor. It allows you to switch the monitor back and forth between computers via the keyboard.

As Elaine says you need a 2-port KVM switch to run two computers from one mouse, keyboard and monitor, check here (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=UFNTaG93UmVzdWx0cw%3D%3D) but you may get a good deal on something like that on eBay.

1.80 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64bit ..... don't think so http://66.197.142.137/forums/images/smilies/nono.gif.

is that a mistake with the belarc picking that up cos i dont know what the cpu is except from that its amd athlon, could it be underclocking? i dont know too much on the subject so if i sound dumb theres my excuse

My apologies it seems that I was wrong, I was under the impression that AMD 64 bit CPUs started at 2.4 GHz but after checking it seems that they start at 1.8 GHz.
And yes 64bit processing is more powerful than the previous 32 bit processing.

Here's a link to the info for 64 bit CPUs (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_9487^10248,00.html).

Here's more info on 64 bit computing. (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9331,00.html)

I'll have to check my information more carefully in future http://66.197.142.137/forums/images/smilies/suspic.gif ....... sorry.

HTH.
