There are certain computer systems which use more than 1 processor.
In every desktop pc there is only one processor.
So the Question is can I attach more than 1 processor to a single PC and acquire the power of two processors simultaneously
(eg. one p4 3.2 ghz chip and another p4 3.0 ghz chip)

1. PCI card that support multimonitors.
2. USB or any external VGA device
3. Two Computer: (No Way) My office decorate can't handle more than one case.
4. If I found a VGA card with one VGA + DVI + S-Video, can I span between these three outputs.
