I over heard a conversation today that confused me alittle.
The guy was talking about hooking 2 computers together to work as on. For example each had 512 ram but they ran together so it was like he had one computer with 1 gig ram. Dose this make any sense to anyone else he didn't mean like a network to share files he specified to double all resources that is all I heard help confused

The people you overheard may have been talking about hooking up 2 computers to work as a grid computer(also known as distributed computing) which is very useful when working with things like rendering large video files. Dual core and quad core CPUs from Intel are based on a similar concept.

I've never heard of hooking up two computers like that before.
The only thing I've ever seen done is hook up more than one computer screen to the same stack. Its pretty cool, my dad did it once. Very convinent for people who need lots of things up at once. But hooking to stacks/hardrives/whatever you want to call them together.... I dont think so.

He means he remove the RAM from one computer to another and hard drive is also possible the onlythings that doesn't change is the processor and the motherboard.

Perhaps that guy was just bragging after seeing two 512mb graphics card running in SLI.

Under Windows what you describe is impossible
there is no method of running a slave copy of windows

I don't believe it is possible.
