Desktop Computer Review: X350 Desktop Virtualization Review

I wanted to share multiple terminals through one computer and was looking at a server based solution. The high cost was deterring me, so I was asking friends around for a cheaper solution. One suggested this company and X350.

The concept is elegant, one computer, and three additional monitors/keyboards/mice attached and each can have independent sessions.

Some notes:

1. Card needs PCI slot, does not work with PCI Express
2. The Installation software on CD is old. You need to download the latest software from the website ( I learned this the hard way)
3. Can cause conflict with Windows security updates, and takes time for company to release new software version.
4. Does not support Vista 64 bit, works only on 32 bit version ( again found it the hard way)
5. The software is not as robust as it can be, issues still remain, I am working to sort it out.

Having said this, the company claims to have many installations in the world and they probably run fine. If there is an IT guy to look after hardware/software issues, you may be OK. If you have to do it on your own then just be prepared for some frustration during set-up. I am sure there will be cases where things run smoothly, but documentation and compatibility information can definitely be better.

Would I do it again- yes, given the cost savings. Will I add more cards- yes, to expand the current system. Now that I know some pitfalls, I will be more careful next time.

Product Description:
Up to eleven users on one PC? Absolutely - today's PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of people use only a small fraction of their available computing power. The X-series taps the unused capacity so that up to eleven users can simultaneously share a single PC. Each user gets their own virtual workspace (applications, settings, files, and preferences), but at a fraction of what it would cost with individual computers. So even though eleven people share a single system, they each get their own rich PC experience.
