Excellent for office/web/media tasks. Usable for moderate gaming with restrictions.

Enhanced stability for gaming across multiple seats. Core Features of ASTER v2.27 1. Hardware Efficiency

To host a smooth multiseat experience, the host machine must scale according to the number of active workplaces. Multiple Concurrent Users on a Single PC using Aster

Very low (~2-3% CPU, ~100–200MB RAM per extra user session).

This is the most crucial configuration step. Before enabling ASTER, you must connect all your monitors and ensure your Windows display settings are set to "Extend these displays." Then, within the ASTER control panel, you drag and drop each monitor and its corresponding keyboard and mouse into the rectangular area representing a specific "Workplace".

To ensure a seamless experience with Build 2.27, your host PC must be provisioned with adequate hardware. Because resources are shared, the hardware requirements scale with the number of workplaces you intend to create. Minimum (2 Workplaces) Recommended (4+ Workplaces) Intel Core i3 / AMD Ryzen 3 (4 Cores) Intel Core i7/i9 / AMD Ryzen 7/9 (8+ Cores) RAM 8 GB DDR4 / DDR5 32 GB to 64 GB DDR4 / DDR5 Storage 256 GB SATA SSD 1 TB+ NVMe M.2 SSD (High Read/Write speeds) GPU 1 GPU with 2 Video Outputs (e.g., GTX 1050) 1-2 High-End GPUs (e.g., RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT) OS Windows 10 (64-bit) Windows 11 (64-bit)

Upon reboot, open the ASTER Control Panel. You will see a graphical interface displaying your available hardware components on one side and numbered Workplaces on the other.

Purchasing five mid-range office computers can easily cost thousands of dollars. With ASTER, you buy one high-end, powerful computer and four extra sets of cheap monitors and peripherals. You completely eliminate the cost of multiple motherboards, power supplies, cases, and storage drives. Furthermore, you save heavily on software licenses, as many applications only look at the singular machine ID. Drastic Energy Savings

Build 2.27 was a pivotal update in the software's lifecycle. It focused heavily on and stability for modern GPU drivers. Key highlights of this version include:

Multiple computer towers generate significant heat and fan noise, requiring robust air conditioning in tight spaces. Replacing those towers with simple monitors and thin cables creates a quiet, minimalist, and comfortable working environment. Hardware Requirements for Build 2.27
