Default 4 LCD montitors with two computers and one mouse. possible?

I have a total of 4 lcd monitors and I want to 16 table on them. Is it possible to connect two computers to 4 LCDs and use only 1 mouse and 1 keyboard? I would need to be able to log into my poker stars account and be able to play on any of the 4 monitors. I know some of this is possible and there is software but I have no idea which software would be most efficient or where to find it and how much it costs. I cannot buy a new computer or video card. Also I'm looking to purchase a 4 lcd stand but those are a bit expensive so if anyone knows of used/cheap ones let me know, this is one issue that I could pretty easily work around though. Thanks.

this is not possible without being able to log into pokerstars twice.

if you can log in twice, then use synergy2

synergy2 will let you control 2 computers with one keyboard and mouse.

Why do you need two computers? Just add a PCI video card and run all four monitors on one machine.... it's what I do. You said you can't buy a video card??????? Under $50 ?????

Build your own stand with stuff from Lowes or HomeDepot... less than $15 bucks in material.

FWIW, I have a second system set up using a KVM switch. Onle one keyboard/mouse needed. The second machine only has the use of one screen however.

Yes you can use two dual cards. Thats the way my system is.
Personally I'd use two alike if possible to avoid conflicts.
