Alright so here is the deal...

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)

I don't think it's possible. If anything you can upgrade the RAM on your current PC if you've got open slots and your MoBo supports it.

it's possible, I've heard of it being done..but theirs compatibility issues and i have a feeling all MB's need to be the same.

best bet would be to try a online tech forum and make a thread about it there..

Not very likely, remember that RAM (or the processor) has to be compatible with the motherboard.
