How to combine 2 macbook pro together to make one powerful computer?

Hello everyone my question might sound silly or stupid, but I heard that the following is possbile....
I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro with Tiger and 2 days old MacBook Pro with Leopard on it. However, i've heard from many people that it is possible to combine the power of two MacBook Pro together to make one of the two acquire the qualities of the other computer but I don't know how to quite make it....
First of all, is it possible ?
Second, if so, TELL ME HOW PLEASE
Thank you for your answers !

Vincent,
The technology that does this is called "Xgrid." It requires first a fast network; wireless wouldn't be ideal. Xgrid must be enabled on all computers, with one set up as a controller. The controller can then send a portion of certain processing tasks to the other machines, when supporting applications are being used.
Xgrid can be used, for example, for transcoding video. It can be used for complex modeling in some scientific applications. It cannot be used to increase performance in a video game.

    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake. 
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

  • How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

    How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
    And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
    What would be the cons?

    USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
    So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
    But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.
