Darmdorf Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I believe Windows has been able to connect [2] peers, usually by Ethernet LAN since W95. But what do you happen to have in mind in regard to 'more performance'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quubik Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I wanna play games faster so what I meant is to use my laptop hardware plus my pc's RAM, CPU and GPU together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Dual Computer SLI, lol. As far as I know that is not going to work. However, good thought! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melon Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 It called computer SLI hybrid. Use your laptop to play games, connect it with your PC monitor + keyboard and mouse voila!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Most supercomputers do use a form of 'sli' if you want to call it that. They connect thousands of computers via what is termed 'high speed cables' and they are able to achieve remarkable speed from them. I know that apple has built a supercomputer using this method.

melon Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Well for us consumer, there's a reason why they make MOTHERboard. Processor communicate with memory via northbridge (AMD use on chip memory controller) with the speed depending on the size of the BUS (FSB). those connection is highspeed and has very low latency. IF you are going to connect 2 PCs (consumer PC or laptop), then you'll need to connect the motherboards with a very low latency cable. But then again, the chipset will have to support it also. Long story - short, there's NO WAY for us consumer to connect 2 PCs or Laptops to get more performance. With today's technology, its simply impossible.

Andrew55 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yes, true and it would most likely stay that way as their would be a low demand for things of such nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Long story - short, there's NO WAY for us consumer to connect 2 PCs or Laptops to get more performance. With today's technology, its simply impossible. How about Beowulf multi-node Linux supercomputing arrays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
