Introduction
The special designed 2-user motherboard allows two users to share the computing power of a
single PC system. With integrated connectivity hardware onboard, the motherboard comes
with innovative software, the MagicTwin
®
, allowing 2 users to be connected to it and runs up
to two stations directly from it simultaneously. The unique and copyright-protected
MagicTwin
®
technology makes each of the 2 users feel like having himself his own Windows-
XP computer. Each user needs to have himself his own keyboard, mouse, sound device, and
monitor. All remaining PC hardware are shared, even the IP.
Both users can operate on their own station concurrently just like the operation of a standard
PC. There is 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, usually from electronic memory, or cache. Both users get from Windows and the PC,
what they really need when they need it! The MagicTwin solution turns the single PC into a
cost-effective multi-user system.
The setup 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. You can add
immediately additional user station to the single system and turn one PC into two.
