2 Computers running together as 1?
« on: February 17, 2008, 01:21:30 PM »
Ok. I have a question that I couldnt find the answer to when I googled it.
If I have two computers that use Windows XP and they each have only a motherboard that supports 1GB of Ram and they are both useing 1GB then
Can I Connect them BOTH together so that I can play a game that requires at least 2GB of RAM.

So I want to be able to cannect both of them to the same Moniter and use them at the same time.

Is this Possiable?  :confused:

You can have 2 computers linked and share programs etc. and monitor, but you cant make them a virtual one PC, and whatever PC you open the app on, is the one it will run on.
