Dual motherboard computer

Post by matt719 »

A few years back I saw some pictures of a computer a guy built that had two dual CPU (2GHz P4) motherboards wired together so they would work as one. I have failed in my attempts to find where this was, and i was wondering if anyone knew. I'm curious of whether they were clustered to work together ro he actually came up with some circuitry and a chip to have them work as one.

This is probably a long shot, but just let me know if you have seen this. Thanks.

Why not just buy a decent multi-CPU motherboard in the first place?
