[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 123721, member: 11550"] You can do that in XP. It's the same as Terminal Services in Server systems. To do it, you need to replace the regular remote desktop connection dll with once from a server machine. By Default, XP will not let both users work at the same time, but Termianl Services does. It's still a lot of messing around and may not give you great results. My suggestion is similar to MrKaras. For the kitchen machine, make it a low specced machine that spends it's idle time in suspend or hibernate. It doesn't have to be on when not in use, does it? In my house, we have the main PC that is networked and on 24/7. It's a fairly efficient machine too, with AMD C'n'Q. Then we have the other machine downstairs that is networked to it and it spends it's idle time asleep. DirectX really doens't like two systems using it at the same time and the way you want to set it up may result in bad quality on fast moving TV (and especially any games) [/QUOTE]
