Introduction
Thank you for purchasing MagicTwin series barebone system.
The barebone system is a multi-user ready platform enabling the connection of two users to the
system. With connectivity hardware onboard and the innovative software, the MagicTwin
®
series
barebone system allows 2 users to be connected to it and runs up to two (2) stations with
Windows session simultaneously from it. Each of the 2 users feels like having himself his own
Windows-XP computer. Every user needs to have himself his own keyboard, mouse, sound
device, and monitor. The remaining PC hardware will be shared, even the IP. All you need is a
single MiniQ MagicTwin system with a minimum of 1.2 GHz or higher processor, 256MB of RAM
(128MB per workstation/user) and dual VGA port (using a dual port AGP graphic card
purchased separately from your dealer). You can add immediately additional user station to the
single system and turn one PC into two.
The set up is intuitive and easy. In only a few minutes, users can install and start using their new
workstation. No network administrator is needed as everything to network the workstations
together is done automatically with the MagicTwin software. Please refer to the motherboard
manual, MagicTwin XP manual and the electronic PDF manual included in the delivered CD for
detail to configuration this MagicTwin 2-user system.

Advantage
Reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
MagicTwin (technically) runs with only one single Windows-XP Installation and license.
Two users operate simultaneously with single system and share the same processor,
system memory, and so on through MagicTwin.
No network administrator is needed as everything to network the two workstations is done
automatically with the MagicTwin software. You need less software installation, service,
maintenance and administration, which is the most expensive factor in computing.
Time-slicing / Multiplexing Technology for Simplicity and Efficiency
No obvious delay because of the Time-slicing/Multiplexing technology built-in. Each user
gets an exact and extremely short defined moment to access to the PC system, devices,
applications and Windows itself. Resources are only claimed for nanoseconds at a time.
Both users get from Windows and the PC, what they really need when they need it!
Minimal Hardware Requirement with Flexible Expandability
A processor of 1,2GHz and 256MB of system memory are the minimum to start with. You
can upgrade the hardware as time goes and availability comes abundant.
