I have a new fast(er) computer and "old reliable" that still dual boots with Windows 7 and Windows 8.
I have one 23" monitor that has both DVI and VGA. I'd like to use it with both computers.
The new computer is hooked up via DVI and the old computer only uses VGA. Is it possible for me to leave the DVI cable between the monitor and the new computer while connecting the VGA port of the monitor to the old computer?
Of course, I know I'd have to be careful and have only one computer at the time on . . . And, I seem to recall that there's some kind of equipment that would take care of this for me.
Ideas and/or information will be much appreciated.
