Recently I aquired 3 computers from my school that they no longer need. However, these computers came with no cables, and had no hard drive since they were server based. I am wondering if there is any way I can use the processors/RAM/Motherboard from these computers to help increase the power of mine. Like would there be any way to take the 3 sets of motherboards with processors and RAM and connect them to my current motherboard so I can get more power. (The stuff is weaker then what I have on my current computer so I dont wanna replace them, just compund my power) Link to comment
