The Belkin 2 port was for an SGI O2 and a Windows XP machine.  It is seamless 
and the user is ecstatic over just using one monitor, mouse, and keyboard for 
both.

I would say the cheaper 2 port and 4 port KVMs are fine but I would test alot 
when using USB devices.  Maybe a pure USB based KVM would play right but I 
don't know.
