Posted June 14, 2019 I have a few questions if anyone is willing to answer. i need a PC or a Workstation maybe, that can be used by four separate users using their own peripherals, on four monitors mostly it will be used for a kitchen designing software currently, i3 and gtx 1050 do the job, with some minor problems can you suggest what is needed for this, in general, and some option for on-site backup, preferably to a some lan attached server software used does in fact support virtualization so harware part is where i'n not as experienced, at least with pro gear In normal PC terms i'm an advanced user, no problems there, even some networking is not a problem thanks people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 14, 2019 Have you looked at multipoint before? THere is one that is included in windows server and should work well here, and allows you to do this without making vms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 14, 2019 honestly if currently an i3 and gtx1050 do the job kind of okay you are better of just upgrading that computers, this will be cheaper than buying a server, requires less setup time and if something fails only one computer is not working instead of all of them.

I dont know your software yet (what is it?) but it's more common to be CPU-based, only really complex CAD work use GPU power well. Also what i3 and i5? They have more cores since 8th gen so I need to ask that.
