Currently using the 2 port Linksys KVM, and I can not sing its praises
enough. runs my 21" monitor with no degradation (that I can see) at
1024x728 75 Hz. Monitor rates are one of the things that fall with cheap
cables, and the Linksys cables seem to be pretty good.
I picked mine up for $56.99 at MicroCenter in VA, this was in the "opened"
bin, the regular price was $65.
