Just ordered my new computer and I was going to sell my old one. However I thought was it possible to connect my pc's together to run other applications most importantly FS9/FSX. I would be planning to use my TV as a 3rd monitor to possibly connect my old rig to. What steps would I need to take in order to run FS9/FSX and other multiple applications?
