Two computers dual-processing

[LouisS]

Is it posible to connect any two or more computers so the CPUs, RAM, hard drive, and graphics chips all comumicate with each other and work faster (basicly one computer piggy-backing on one or more others to go faster and be better), or do you have to take the computers apart and put them together as one?

You would likely need one of the dual socket boards, but at that point its not meant for much other than heavy data crunching. Why are you asking? Unless what you are working with can support an unholy number of threads you dont need this because using two computers requires a lot of parallelism.

I know you can wire it up so that the CPU's can communicate with each other, at school they have a rig using 9 dual socket motherboards but you cant get the RAM or graphics chips to be shared. To get the graphics cards to communicate with each other, just get a second and put it in SLI or CF.
