Advanced hardware

To take advantage of the multiuser is advisable to use computers prepared for it. The list of features to expand are as follows:

1. Video Outputs
2. Graphics cards
3. USB sound card
4. USB connections
5. Processor
6. Memory

1.- Video Outputs

What most often limit the creation of workstations are the video outputs because it is what usually more scarce on a computer. A laptop, although it has its screen and several connectors for monitors only allowed to use the laptop screen and one of the outputs. A tower of a pc with a basic graphics card will have two or three video outputs. Therefore, adding new video outputs economically should be the first item to consider if we want to have many workstations on a single computer.

A very interesting element to consider is the usb graphics cards. Small appliances without much graphics but enough for workstations that only seek office and power surfing the internet. They are of particular interest for laptop because without these devices may only create a multi-two, the notebook itself and a single set of monitor, keyboard and mouse.

CAUTION: Not all USB video adapters are supported.

2.- Graphics cards

Although related to the previous point should make a small distinction. In the case where you want to create several workstations enough to play then each must have its own graphics card medium or high power range. These graphics cards have several exits but those other outlets may only be used for desktop workstations: office and surfing the internet.

3.- USB sound card

Since a PC has a sound card, an additional element to consider is the use of USB sound cards for each position have yours.

4.- USB connections

Each workstation must have its own hub usb jack where you plug your keyboard, mouse, sound card, USB memory and perhaps other elements. How easy is a four-port hub without power..

But it is recommended to get some more ports and its own power supply because otherwise there could be problems with the operation of some elements because the electricity supplied by the computer's USB port may not be enough.

5.- Processor

Perhaps the least important element today. The power is enough to create severals workstatons for office automation. Only if they are to perform specific tasks that require large processing capabilities will be a detailed study.


6.- Memory

The four gigas that usually come with computers are sufficient for many jobs. Windows 7 may need one, the other can create many workstation if only used for Office and Internet.
