2 PC's, One rig

[Mechaboy95]

Hi guys. I have 2 old prebuild PC's and don't really want to pull them to pieces to construct a half-decent one. Is there some sort of cable so 2 old PC's can be helping each other run the same game or program. They both have DDR2 RAM and a HDD drive, but one has an AMD Phenom 2, an the other has a Intel Core 2 Duo from about 10 years ago. One has a old Nvidia GeForce GPU and the other has no gpu. Could I have Minecraft running on the Intel one while the AMD one lends all its possible resources to get max FPS?

No. Not in the context that you're reffering to. Cluster computing is a thing , but its for tasks like rendering and number crunching.

 

Best you can do is multitask between them , for example running minecraft on one , while watching youtube/browsing the internet on another.

They sound pretty beyond help. Tech doesn't last forever. Sometimes you just have to let it go.

No. Besides the fact that cluster computing needs specialized software solutions to work overall, you don't get more fps by adding no GPU and GPU together.
