Internally network 2 motherboards together to instantly double the capability of an Alienware computer. Develop an Internal Networking Controller chip or chips that connect the Northbridge and Southbridge of each motherboard call it Expansion Northbidge and Expansion Southbridge and wow. We would now be able to double the computers capability in every way RAM, Video card etc. by adding an additional motherboard.

Colleges around the world are networking students personal computers through the normal LAN so they can simulate some global weather patterns, economics, aerodynamics, Star Trek spatial anomalies or whatever Professor required experiments for theoretical or practical enlightenment.

At a minimum we may be able to create an Internal Modem that connects multiple motherboards as they are now with no motherboard upgrades. This would allow us to use up our existing surplus of motherboards and expansion hardware RAM and Graphics Processor Units instead of recycling them.

Obviously we would need dual power supplies, dual fans and to designate the primary, secondary, tertiary motherboards. The odd question would be what to do with the hard drives? Either have one or more and link them all to the primary motherboard, or each motherboard have its own hard drive with its own operating system as though they are completely separate computers which happen to be located inside one case. It might be easier for tech. support or for the hobby do it yourselfers if all hard drives worked through the primary motherboard only. Then the additional motherboards would be just adding extra horse power.
