I have 2 desktops and I want to link them to run simultaniously and share eachothers workload in an intelligent manner. I do not want to use an A-B switch. For example...If desktop 1 is running a couple applications and computer 2's is not, computer 2 would use its unused memory and/or processing power to help out desktop one and visa versa. Thanks for any help

Theoretically possible, but not in practical terms with 2 PCs. Load sharing like this tends to only be done on large scale systems and is more often done when a task is required, not mid job, so if 1 machine has a lower job loading, when a new assignment of required processing is assigned iot goes to machine with lowest current load, much like old mainframe systems did.

i am pretty sure theres a way but you would need to rig it where the two turn on at the same time and connect the ram and hard drive and hard ware together...Just some more wireing and it should work

Been done many times. Google's servers work this way.
