[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 737951, member: 59833"] Nope. You would need a 3rd computer to act as a server handing off tasks to the two connected computers - sort of a distributed computing project. But this type project would not improve your gaming experience. If you want two monitors, your Gateway PC supports two as is. Or you could add a graphics card to it for better graphics processing. It looks like it came with 4GB of RAM and 64-bit Windows so you could probably double the RAM easily too, for more power. However, to support the added demands of a better graphics card, you likely will need to upgrade the power supply too since according to [URL='https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113188']these specs[/URL], it only came with a 220W supply.
