I've always used one computer only at any given time for the the best part of 15 years but recently, I find that -
1 - I'm getting fed up of poor performance from a computer that is usually jam packed with about a zillion drivers and items of software - they tend to impair the performance of the computer as a whole and make it that little bit more prone to a potential screw ups.
2 - if a pc decides to go belly up (as mine has on several occasions), your left in the lurch.
My computer is (was) primarily a games machine and the specs reflect this so I made the decision to purchase a second computer to handle non gaming tasks like printing, scanning, internet, and a million other non game uses therefore freeing up valueable resources on the gaming machine.
However, I'd like to be able to transfer data from one to the other so my question is this - whats required to physically connect one computer to another and is any software required for this?
