Hi,

this is a shot/question into the dark:

Suppose I would have two identical motherboards (desktop), both identical
equipped with a multi-core CPU each (AMD).

Two questions:
1: Is it possible to run one of the boards without a graphics card?
2: Can I "combine" both (how?) to use the power of both for rendering
   purposes?

Thank you very much for any inspiration!
Best regards,
mcc

That depends on the board.

Yes. Use any of the available parallel-programming libaries:
