Now if they make a USB 3.0 that would be awesome, be able to utlize the graphics card and such. Im about to buy 2 of these for my house so my sister and niece can be both on a computer since theres only 1 there and my rig is at college.

I wonder if this will allow two people to play games on one good computer.

[mrjunior]

i think it will be handy if i install a Quad core cpu & let my brother play trough my pc

[exodiathecoolone]

think logically here, he showed off successfully using two seperate windows logins simultaneously on the one pc, so logically yes, two skype accounts.

Basically what microsoft's multipoint thing is, but crappier, very cool.

[bufli]

this is only useful if u plan to use non graphical stuff... usb 2.0 is not fast enough for anything that required more hcore graphics..ex video would prob not work on it
if it were usb 3.0 it would be good

[vallentyn]

[azimhamidun]
