Utilise cpu and ram from another computer ?!!

[siamandm]

Hello all,
A friend of mine asked a question about the possibility of a computer using cpu and ram from another computer when he operate a heavy program that consume too much ram and cpu in order to increase the performance .
Personally im thinking of using a server computer .
What about you guys?

To share CPU/memory, you'd need an operating system that supports this, plus software that has been designed for this purpose.

A powerful server that can be accessed by Remote Desktop is a much better idea.

Thank you for your kind reply,
So technically is possible to connect to computer and utilise the CPU and ram from each other?

I think Hans means you should install the CPU and RAM hungry application on a powerful (server) computer and then access that computer and application via a Remote Desktop Connection from your own PC. That way the hard work is done by the remote computer leaving your machine free to do other stuff.

What Ken (stuck) says. Windows doesn't have built-in support for sharing processor and memory.
