I have two laptops which is not enough powerful for my tasks. I wonder if there is any way I could link them and i have the total processing resources of these two laptops.

1It depends on the task - they have to support multiprocessing. Can you give us more details on what you're trying to achieve?– Optimal CynicCommented Oct 21, 2011 at 10:32

My both lap-tops are dual-core Intel CPU and ddr2 RAM Which work on Windows 7 64bit . and because I'm programmer I'm trying to run VS.net 2010 and SQL Server2008 R2– MostafaCommented Oct 21, 2011 at 10:51

1You can run SQL Server on one and VS.net on the other, but you can't share more than that. Neither of those programs are cluster tasks.– Optimal CynicCommented Oct 21, 2011 at 11:17

What you might be looking for is clustered computing.
A cluster is a group of computers bound together into a common resource pool. A given task can be executed on all computers or on any specific computer in the cluster.
This way you can link your laptops together.
What you require for a cluster?
- At least two computers with Windows XP, Windows NT, SP6 or Windows 2000 networked with some sort of LAN equipment (hub, switch etc.).
- Ensure during the Windows set up phase that TCP/IP, and NETBUI are installed, and that the network is started with all the network cards detected and the correct drivers installed.
