I don't see why you would want to. You'd put 2 video cards into 1 pc, one to be used by one version of Windows 7 and another to be used by another copy of Windows 7? You'll pay double for Windows 7 and GPUs for no increased performance, but you're concerned with the price of CPUs??

Nope.

You can run Windows in VMWare or VirtualBox inside the first Windows install, but the VM version will not have 3D application support (not worth anything anyway).

I have tried to go down this road about a year ago with very bad results. The performance was so bad that I would give up on the idea right now.

I get it now, I think?

You want to build 1 PC that would allow 2 people to play games on it at the same time?

Nonethless, as others have said, forget it.
