Is it Possible to use Two Motherboards?
Ok can you connect two motherboards and have 2 cpus 1 hdd 1fdd 1 vga and so on. this (in theory) would allow you to split the information in half and give each mobo have the numbers to crunch and increase speed.
Please tell me if this is possible. |

Why don't you read a lot more on theory and on hard technology regarding motherboards and systems?

Think of it this way.
- Mothers can have more than 1 child. - A child can't have more than 1 mother. (Child being the processor )

What asi_shi is saying is that if you want two or more processors in the same system, you will need a motherboard that supports multiple CPUs (2 CPU slots).

Indeed. Why would you want to have 2 motherboards anyway? Where would you mount them? On the wall?

Not for Windows. And you can't do it the way you described at all. But technically you could connect 2 systems together and have the workload distributed between them equally.

If your making a behemoth cluster thats sort of what your doing. You would just need to use a linux interface and write a custom program that made use of the different processors. For all practical purposes, its not possible.

Load Balancing?
Is it not possible to use Load Balancing Techniques to share the load? The techniques used in server farms? Obviously it would be, but im more curious about load balancing an application, such as resource hungry CADs, Graphic Utilities, and Graphic intense Video Games.

you're using the wrong terms.... refer to them as servers/masters and slave processors.
