combining two systems

[linuxconvert]

Right now I have 2 computers (one is a 633 mhz celeron, and the other is a 800mhz P3) is it possible to combine the two systems to wrok simultaneously and have it work as one system? if so, how would you do it?

If you're running Linux you can use OpenMOSIX (http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/) to achieve something like this as well.

No. Technically speaking, it can be done, but not without further investment and diminished returns. However, you do have a third option, which is probably best:

Pick the best parts from each system: the best motherboard, CPU, video card, case, etc., and put them together into one system. Use all the RAM you can, and both hard disks. Sell the remaining parts and pocket the extra cash.

Can you provide any more detail on the systems? Are they HPs? Dells? What models? Etc.
