Hooking up two CPU's to one computer

Is there a way to hook up two CPU's to one computer without using the natural daul core way? Like could I take 2 computers and use like a USB or Ethernet cord to connect them together to use two CPU's processing power in my one computer.

 

By Networking you mean like a router? I have a wireless router, wireless network card, and both the computers I want to hook up have Ethernet ports. But also... Would either of these enable the CPU's to connect together? And by that I mean use the two CPU's to process data and share the CPU information like in games to speed them up and whatnot.

 

I dont want to share files and printers, I have already enabled that. I want to share CPU usage to get more processing power through my one Computer.

 

You can share files of data between computers connected to a network, but not the system resources that involve the processing and execution of this data...This process is unique to each systems mainboard (mobo).

At least i am not aware that you can!

To even function a 'dual core' microprocessor, you will need a motherboard that supports the necessary architecture!!!

 

I am thinking that this person is thinking in the lines of either Parallel Processing, or Grid-Computing. In order to do either, you need special software, or a OS such as Linux that allows for this.

 

A bit of reading on a process called 'fair-share scheduling', but i'm not sure that this is your ultimate aim?

I was trying to think of the other, but only came up with the two. Thank you nitecrawler to adding to the list.

 

Or you could cheat and just buy a dual processor computer they are plenty and they are cheap, the chipsets are already there to run more then one processor, the OS's are available to work with more then one, surely easier then trying to connect 2 computers together to share processor cycles, I am sold on both the multi-processor servers that I now use as home computers!
