Title: Able to add 2 proccesors? :)
Post by: Custom on August 14, 2008, 06:53:25 pm: Hello..

I got two computers, the one of them have a 2.8 GHz, and the other have 2.79 GHz processor... I am only using the one of them, so am I able to add the other on the computer that im using, so it will be about 5.6 GHz? And will it be easy to do?

You should use a soldering iron with some scrap metal and link all of it together

That's like using a Bomb to kill one single Aragorn. Not Necessary .

Post by: Kessu on August 14, 2008, 08:01:36 pm: It is possible to have two processor but your motherboard may not support those... You may not get second processor to that.. And if you buy new motherboard you need to buy new operating system...

Post by: Caltson on August 14, 2008, 08:17:14 pm: If u have a socket 775 (if you know what that is ) (Intel core 2 duo, Dual Core and core 2 quad )
You can hav two processors in 1 chip, (Dual core) up to 4 (Quadcore)

If your able to wait 5 years more you could be able to add a extra CPU via PCI... This CPU is made partly from rat brains :neutral:

Cheaper way is Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz. It costs just like 200-300ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬ :D

Post by: Neave on August 15, 2008, 09:45:02 pm: buy a server motherboard if you really want to use two physical processors, and yes if a program supports multi-threading it will be like running at 5GHz, otherwise it will only work at 2.5.. locking topic

(they cant explode.. :trust: )
