As the title denotes, I'm presently now in the market for a good KVM switch that won't sacrifice any quality nor performance on my 2 different systems. Any suggestions are welcome.

System 1

Abit IC7
Pentium 2.4c
Kingston HyperX RAM
Powercolor 9700 Pro
Maxtor RAID-0 array

System 2

Abit KD7
Athlon XP 2100+
Samsung DDR RAM
Sapphire 9500 Atlantis
Quantum Fireball 20 GB HD

Presently, I only have the first system hooked up to my Logitech office keyboard, Microsoft Optical mouse, and Samsung 710T LCD monitor. I will have both running on the same native resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hertz.

I have heard that Linksys' model is pretty good and has a nice, quick scroll lock switch between the systems, but I've never actually used one, so I can't go on speculation alone.

And who better than the [H]ard community to help me?

Also, I'm needing this KVM switch to have a DVI capable connection and USB ports since I'm using an Intellimouse Optical.

yeah finding one with both DVI and USB will be pretty tough, I had enough problems finding one that had USB for all the inputs and outputs. BTW watch out for buying one without cables, cause some KVM don't connect the same as others. I bought one without cables and bought a nice belkin for like 20 bucks and a cheap one for my server for like 9 bucks. The Belkin had the wrong VGA connection for going into the KVM!!! I was so pissed that the good cable didn't even connect correctly, i had to buy a gender adapter to fix it, thanks Belkin you non standand accessories manufacturer!
