Good KVM switch
I am using this KVM switch with a computer running Vista Premium, and another computer running XP. I read a review that said this switch would not work with video cards, but I am running it with an NVIDIA Quadro card and it works fine.

It works as advertised
Easy to connect (includes the cables); readily allows you to operate two PC's using one mouse, monitor, keyboard and set of speakers. {Note: there's a PS-2 KVM switch available if you have PS-2 mouse & keyboard.} My only problem is waking a sleeping PC (on power scheme); hitting the keyboard spacebar doesn't do it. Otherwise, you can easily switch between running PC's using the "hot key" (scroll-lock + scroll-lock, preprogramed). I got this to assist in migrating from an old PC to a new PC, but was so much fun I've kept the old one in place as an "installed spare/back-up".

works good
It works good. I have a Compaq PC with Windows XP. The switching takes about 5 seconds. There are 2 connection sounds that you hear from the PC speakers when the switch is done (just normal Windows sounds), so you know when control is passed from one PC to another. I hit the "scroll lock" key twice for my switching. You can also switch by using the 2 buttons on top of the unit (but my unit is on top of my PC, which sits on the floor).
<br />
<br />I usually put my main PC to sleep. I used to do hibernate, but that seems to have problems with the KVM (sometimes). So, I use sleep mode instead, and it works great.
<br />
<br />I would buy it again, if I needed one.

Works perfectly
I am using this kvm switch on a Power Mac and an HP box running Linux, and it does its job well. All the cables needed are included, and it is easy to hook up.
<br />
<br />Even the audio sounds good, unlike a different brand that my son bought, and he gave up on the audio switching because of the poor sound quality. I am running mine through a 100 watt stereo receiver and Boston Acoustic speakers, and there is no sound degradation.
<br />
<br />I didn't install any software, so I'm using the buttons on the switch itself, and switching takes about one second to complete. I have had no problems and am very happy with this purchase.
