Trying to use a server as an attachment to my pc

bikerider1999 · Aug 20, 2017

I was wondering if it was possible to use an IBM server with four CPUS in it as an attachment to my desktop, I was hoping that with this it would take most of the work off of my main desktop. Any advice would be great, thank you

What do you mean attachment? Not that I'm aware of. However you could use it for a file server on your home network which would let you store files etc instead of on your PC.

You could use it as a pc but separate pcs will always be separate pcs. The only way to connect them is networking.

What do you mean by attachment?

If you mean to somehow link it to your current system to be able to have basically 5 CPUs handling your workload, no, it doesn't work like that and cannot.

All its good for for you is to use as a file server, for extra networked space. Honestly a waste of electricity, a networked hard drive can do that.
