Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to connect two tower servers (or rack/blade) to "create" a more powerful system.
I'm looking to buy an i7 3960x or a Xeon processor with a high benchmark rating from passmark.
What I do want to know is, can I add other towers to this setup and have an environment whereby I'd eventually have 8,16, 24 etc cores and lots of RAM.
I'm running a threaded program that needs CPU power, RAM and an SSD drive.
I figure if I buy from HP/Dell etc, I'll blow my budget quickly.
Ideally, I'd like to build something for 2500-3000 and connect my i7 950 with it and have 10 physical cores running.
Then add cores quarterly as needed.
Thank you for your input
