Multi-Tasking Ripping and burning DVDs, encoding video, downloading big files, and saving data intensive files are just some system operations that can bring a computers performance below workable levels.While todays computers come equipped with horsepower that absolutely dwarfs what was available just a few years ago, the demands of software and operating systems has grown in parallel.Luckily, internet speeds have also kept pace with hardware and software advancements, opening up new opportunities for users to effectively multi-task. Through the use of Remote Access Software, users can easily connect to a dedicated machine, offload CPU intensive operations and free up precious system resources.Video files can be sent to an alternate system for encoding or rendering. Time consuming downloads and uploads can be performed on a second machine.Any operation that would hamper system performance can be assigned to the controlled machine, leaving all system resources available to the main computer. We see here that remote control software provides many options to users who often run into issues with system resources.By offloading intensive operations to a second system with this flexible software, the work will get done, while the worker remains productive.
